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..."

By the time you’re a quarter of the way through it you’re thinking, "Why hasn’t anyone done this before?"
The pieces don’t always add up, but there are worse ways to kill a couple hours.
Not that something like Boss Level breaks any ground, or – with apologies to the premise – is worth watching over and over. But for those...
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.
Some will call it a guilty pleasure, but I felt no guilt enjoying the heck out of this.
An increasingly tedious amount of repetitive violence played for laughs…
The charismatic supporting player Frank Grillo takes center stage in this entertaining time loop thriller.
As the umpteenth time loop movie we’ve seen of late, Boss Level never offers a convincing enough argument for the gimmick to be leaned o...
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.
Boss Level compensates for its overstuffed scenario and relentless derivativeness – actually, it makes you stop caring about its relentless de...
The sentimentality is as rote as the movie’s '80s lunchbox nostalgia, which offers up a Wilhelm scream, some entry-level Raiders Of The...
"Boss Level" takes a well-worn gag and injects energy, showing the genre is still a game worth playing.
Time and again, Grillo surprises and delights, no matter the creative or financial restraints placed upon him. Boss Level could learn a thing...
The Oscar-nominated Watts is incredibly talented, so the fact that she’s the lame love interest in Boss Level opposite Mel Gibson is disappoi...
With no pixels in sight, Grillo gives "Boss Level" the thing most videogame movie riffs lack: a pulse.

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
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
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
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
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
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) 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
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. 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
A typical modern boss: an interesting (albeit hackneyed) concept, a charismatic hero, a controversial background. The oversaturation of everything makes one doubt whether the director has a sense of proportion and taste. Actually, a measure is not needed for an action bash, but the tastes here are their own. Special. 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
Wonderful. Cheerful, poignant, funny. And I directly remembered that I needed to shed a tear on family values in the cinema for once. Translated to English
Watched
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
Such a normal, boring movie about time loops with blackjack and Asians. Grillo is good, but the ending is a little blurry: the essence of the original title was not felt. Here Machete with Gibson turned out to be a real Boss-level. 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
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
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
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) 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
"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
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
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 :) 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
