A retired special forces officer is trapped in a never ending time loop on the day of his death.
The best way to describe to Boss Level is dumb fun, the acting overall is pretty decent Frank Grillo, Mel Gibson and Naomi Watts all do a very solid job in their roles. The action itself is well choreographed and gives plenty of detail, Boss Level is lacking when it comes writing as a lot of it feels way too on the nose towards the end. But the movie does capture how a lot of 80s and 90s action movies were pretty straightforward so it does a decent job of doing that. Boss Level definitely won’t break any new ground when it comes to the action genre, but it’s certainly not a bad attempt from director Joe Carnahan (director of The Grey)

A suburban woman fights to be believed as she finds herself stalked by a threatening figure who returns to her house night after night. When she can’t get help from those around her, she is forced to take matters into her own hands.
I really don’t have much to say about Lucky, it’s an interesting take on the stalker film genre that’s become way too common. However the execution I felt was incredibly lacking, it doesn’t help that the acting wasn’t exactly that great. The writing once again had interesting ideas but like the premise of the movie was really lacking in terms of execution. The rest of the movie is just very forgettable, it’s the type of movie where after you finish watching it you will quickly forget about. It’s a shame too because I was pretty interested in this movie, missed opportunity.
