Boss level is a 2021 english language action and sci-fi film. The film was originally announced in 2012 but after a lot delays it got released in 2021 March.
Roy Pulver, a retired soldier who has been stuck in a time loop, and has learnt the day’s patterns through many times. He wakes at 07:00 AM everyday, avoids an assassin in his apartment and an attack by a gunman in a helicopter outside his window, then escapes his apartment before it explodes. He has been able to elude more assassins throughout the morning, but finds himself unable to figure out how to survive a final attack at 12:47 PM, waking up back in his apartment on the next loop.
On the day before Roy entered the loop, his estranged wife Jemma had asked Roy to visit her at defense contractor Dynow Labs under the pretense of a job interview. The two argue over Joe, their son, who Jemma has led to believe that Roy is just a family friend. When Colonel Clive Ventor, head of Dynow, discovers Roy near Jemma’s highly classified project, he has him escorted out, but not before Jemma obtains a sample of Roy’s hair.
In one loop, Roy tries to call Jemma but instead reaches Ventor, who tells him that Jemma died from a lab accident the day before. Roy becomes suspicious. On a later loop, he finds Joe at skipping school for a vintage video game tournament. Roy spends the day with Joe but does not mention Jemma’s death. The assassins arrive to kill Roy, and Roy uses his body to protect Joe, telling him as he dies that he is his father.
After which Roy try to figure out how to end it all. How he do it is to watch in the film. There are a lot interesting things in the film. I know the concept of a time loop is not new and if someone will tell you the story you will also find it like an old concept. We have seen time loops in a lot movies. For this one I would like to say one thing only. The action scenes are good.
The movie has its own loopholes as well and in a few scenes you will find it boring and stretched but most of it is fun.
Overall the movie is fun to watch and a nice action film which you can easily go for. The concept is old but you will still find it interesting.
Rating: 6.5/10
