Verdict on Boy Kills World
Boy Kills World is an action comedy following a young man who witnesses with parents killed by a ruthless regime. He has spent his life training to get revenge but when he searches for it, he finds a tougher enemy than he was expecting.
This wildly over-the-top action movie embraces the wild behavior from start to finish. It is pure chaos and in a good way, with splatter-filled fight sequences, to over-the-top characters. The voiceover for the main character is brilliant, letting it tell the story as if his mind is going through the events. It is one you can kick back, relax and enjoy the chaos unfolding.
