    Description

    Trapped in a time loop that constantly repeats the day of his murder, a former special forces agent must unlock the mystery behind his untimely demise.

    Сast and Crew

    Production

    In January 2012, Joe Carnahan announced that he was working on the film, originally titled Continue, for 20th Century Fox, and described it as "Groundhog Day as an action movie", inspired by video game rules. In May 2012, it was reported that Fox was moving forward with the project. In September 2012, Carnahan posted screen tests that he had filmed with actor Frank Grillo on Twitter, saying he was sharing them "to show you how cool this movie could have been..."

    "Boss Level" takes a well-worn gag and injects energy, showing the genre is still a game worth playing.

    This is all passably satisfying, but would be vastly better if the screenwriters weren’t lazily explaining every single detail in voiceover.

    Not funny or provocative at all, but simply the droning spectacle of this unlikable man being killed and then killed again.

    If the cast is above average, so is some of the humour, although dark doesn’t quite describe it. Dark and red might be closer.

    I am stuck in a death loop because of you.

    I’ve been stuck in this time loop for over 140 times.

    I’ve been shot, stabbed, burned, crushed, and decapitated.

    I’ve never lived this day before.

    I’m starting to enjoy this.

    An action movie about character development. Every new day is the day of death. The hero hangs over the edge of the future, opens his eyes and there is another life like in a nesting doll. And if without jokes, the norms of cinema, at a time.

    I’ll be generous on 8 – I was dragged headlong into the dashing universe of this film, and Grillo’s charisma just took me to hell. The scenes with the son found the strongest response, even sniffed a couple of times. Amazing actor. Outplayed everyone on easy, even Gibson.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Great entertainment! Ironic time loop theme, cute son arc, inventive action. The movie only stalls in low exposure, but otherwise it’s cool and feels like an attempt to jack off a level in Hitman perfectly in order to "brutally kill all the enemies on the map."

    Translated to English

    Watched

    A hard-hitting comedy daytime thriller with brutal Grillo and a gaming twist. 7.5 out of 10

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Cinema is no different from its predecessors with the same idea, and does not hesitate to play by their rules and standards. But still it works, albeit a little poor. Funny and cool F. Grillo, good action and humor, and the film does not hold irony at all. Score 6, but the hand itself draws 7)

    Watched

    Remember Groundhog Day? Forget it. Rethinking resembles a shooter in which the GG dies for a certain goal, and this goal is really universal in scope. Another moral … I didn’t expect it straight away: a three-ruble note with motives of family values. Where the world is heading. Not without humor, and funny references …

    Translated to English

    A variant of "Groundhog Day", but wrapped in a fantastic action movie. Among films similar in concept, it stands out effectively due to its bloody dynamics and ironic black humor.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Watchable. But I feel like it’s a total waste of time.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Kind of funny, sort of spectacular, but somehow tiring. A bunch of unnecessary dialogue. But the very idea of a parallel with the game is cool.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    A bit long, there was not enough budget for high-quality special effects. But in general, a good action movie for the evening on the theme of Groundhog Day, although here it’s more like a parallel with save / load games. There are several finds that do not let you get bored. Don’t be sorry for wasted time.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    An evil entertaining banter with elements of Deadpool, John Wick and Groundhog Day, where there are even non-trivial plot moves :) Although an obvious cliffhanger in the finale could not have been done. PS The story about a wild boar and a boa constrictor by Mel Gibson added a philosophical touch to the picture :)

    Watched

    The film is quite interesting and the intrigue is kept. It is interesting to watch how Roy tries to complete this quest and understand what he must do to save all of humanity.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    A continuous scuffle with bloodshed, and a movie about loyalty, will, courage and eternal values. It left a pleasant, light aftertaste. The humor is quite good. Not straight wow, but a solid seven.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Cool ride. I love this kind of movie, where they shoot you in the head so hard that you fly into a bus and THAT’S IT! 🖤

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The idea, cast and action are cool, but they didn’t finish it. It turned out too geeky. The references are good, but somehow bland. Will make you smile.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Why is this filmed at all? Well, this is complete nonsense. The jokes are sartorial, the plot is guessed in the course of the story, the main character is not particularly remarkable. And now you won’t surprise anyone with action. Such a movie🤷‍♀️

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Masculine groundhog day. Great idea and quite a fun implementation. A clear action movie for 1 time

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Excellent. Lots of blood and very entertaining. No need to look for any meaning, you just need to enjoy a good, solid action movie. Deadpool + Groundhog Day.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    "Edge of Tomorrow" at the minimum. The implementation is good, but the writers are clearly stingy with gaming references. Well, or made them somehow too inconspicuous.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    I don’t know what kind of clowns are sitting in Volga, but changing the name to Trigger Day from The Last Level is the height of idiocy. The entire movie is based on video game references. This is a kind of banter over how it would look if the hero had the opportunity to go through the level again an infinite number of times

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The movie is more like Edge of Tomorrow ‍ than Groundhog Day ‍, but more boring than both the first and the second. References to computer games were supposed to be a feature of the film (as the title itself says), but somehow they don’t really fit in with the plot. Therefore, neither fish nor meat, but exciting

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Surprised by the suitability of the film, it’s quite suitable for a boring evening, you definitely won’t be able to fall asleep

    Translated to English

    Watched

    It looks like Grillo’s finest hour. The best I’ve seen with him (kvm does not count). I liked the plot and some of the characters. Persistent attempts to get into the building are good. There are smiling moments. The ending… Well, the ending. In general, everything is better than expected before viewing.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    An extremely unbalanced movie. For every 10 minutes of good, inventive action, there are 15 minutes of boring drama, dull dialogues, and Gibson’s cringe-worthy stories from the "In the Animal World" series. Incidentally, this is a rare case when the localized title suits the movie better than the original.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    I would have given it a higher rating if it wasn’t for the ending. Well kamon! The open ending in this case is the result of the laziness of the writers, I’m sure. :)) And the movie is cheerful, a mixture of Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow, but it’s not clear what Mel Gibson is doing there)
