Boss Level (2021)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This looks cool.

It was cool. Tons of action, comedy, character, and Frank Grillo was great.

Really enjoyed it.

It's the Groundhog Day of action films.

Meant to mention some other things in my review. I made that review super quick as I was heading to bed.

-The biggest flaw in the movie, aside from the science, is that they track the number of "attempts" or times he relives the day. Doing that makes a lot of the things he pulls off look pretty impossible, particularly when contrasted with the failures you're shown. The numbers just don't add up. For example, in Groundhog Day Bill Murray learns the piano. Do you think he could outplay a lifelong concert pianist after 14 days of piano lessons? Not only that, but make the concert pianist look like an amateur?
-I think I might copy Gibson's hair style in this movie.
-Grillo is jacked, like ridiculously so. I don't think he's even looked at a carb in years.
-I wanted to know even more about the assassins, so I guess that makes them good characters. "Always leave them wanting more."
-I definitely wanted to see Brett (Will Sasso) more. I didn't realize he was such a big guy, but his comedic timing was still present. They could have had more fun there.
-Would it have killed them to get the dental hygienist a little more undressed? I have to see Grillo's 8 pack a thousand times, but I can't see her in her bra and panties once?

I was surprised to see this at 6.9 on IMDB. Its deserved. Fun film.

I think it would be, if I were home. But I'm helping my mom with cancer stuff. Back in a few days.

Does that mean a certain streaming service is available, again?

I thought I told you it was already? Apparently not.

A formal announcement was never made, no.

It was pretty good. Also off-put how he mastered a certain skill in like 3 weeks.
