This misfire falls far short of becoming the next genre classic.
Action and comedy are usually the perfect combination because, let's face it, who doesn’t want some laughs alongside a kick-ass action romp? Boy Kills World, a new film from producer Sam Raimi and first-time director Moritz Mohr, feels like it's an amalgamation of various hit action flicks while also trying to create a satirical tone that directly winks at the audience. There’s clear inspiration from franchises like The Raid, Iron Sky, and Dragon Ball Z.
On paper, this all sounds like a radical film that's ripe to become an action classic. Skarsgård has also been on quite the winning streak with Barbarian, John Wick: Chapter 4 and will soon be starring in high-profile films such as The Crow reboot and Robert Eggers' Nosferatu. It's almost as if nothing can stop him.
Films like Boy Kills World don't come around too often, especially with this kind of ambition, but much of it feels like it is in on a joke that it expects everyone else to be in on with it. The problem is that it never gives the audience the context. Mohr uses Boy Kills World to throw everything but the kitchen sink at its audience. At the very least, his direction is far from bland. In fact, there's almost an overabundance of style and flair to everything.
