Bill Skarsgård leads a rote revenge thriller that isn't nearly as clever as it thinks it is

Though Boy Kills World tries its best to conjure a snarky, gory action flick à la Deadpool , a sorely lacking script, bloated runtime, and aimless direction render this revenge flick aggressively tepid. Starring Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe , and Michelle Dockery , Boy Kills World follows the titular Boy , an orphaned young man living on the fringes of a “totalitarian hellhole” of a society that operates under the boot of the filthy rich Van Der Koy family.

In addition to having him speak directly to the audience via Benjamin’s narration, the film’s other reality-bending quirk is the presence of Boy’s little sister Mina, who follows Boy around as a constant reminder of his tragic past.

Bill Skarsgård and Jessica Rothe take no prisoner in this violent slugfest of a film. Moritz Mohr is the man behind the camera for this feature. Sam Raimi serves as a producer on Boy Kills World. In this feature, Skarsgård plays"Boy," a man set out on revenge after his family is killed by nefarious forces.
