Boy Kills World is the oddly titled, oddly written action comedy.
The film is written and directed by Moritz Mohr, who has only done shorts before. While there are some technical problems in his direction, the writing was funny and even though it wasn't original it was a fun take. Tyler Burton Smith helped with the screenplay. You might know him from video games more than movies since he did Alan Wake II, Quantum Break, and Sleeping Dogs. He also did the screenplay for the poor remake of Child's Play.
Bill Skarsgard has a few movies coming out this year namely The Crow and Nosferatu. The latter of which I'm most excited for. He has to act since his character is mute and deaf. He constantly looks at people's lips when they talk and it seemed like either the CGI was on point or he did a lot of his own stunts. Either way, he got shredded for the role.
Speaking of shredded, Jessica Rothe has her abs out the entire film. I wondered what happened to her after Happy Death Day and its sequel. Turns out not much. She's a diamond in the rough in my opinion and wish she could get more roles.
Yayan Ruhian is a stuntman who has been in a lot of martial arts films since his breakout in The Raid: Redemption back in 2011. I expect him to either be a guest or at least featured in a Corridor breakdown of stuntmen react.
The film left me with a smile. while there are some pacing and camera issues, the action and comedy made up for a lot. Result: B
