"He is the Drinker and the Drinker has done this."

I laugh every time the drinker says ‘’ The message’’ 😂😂😂😂😂

I loved the line were Mel tells the girl "stop bringing race into it. A swords a sword". From your lips to gods ears Mel.

An interesting and pretty cool tidbit about the movie... the boy who plays his son in the movie is his real life son. In many interviews he gushed about how cool it was to act with his son.

Grillo nailed this role I loved the hard pivot in the film where he just abandoned his quest to find out what's actually going on and just spends his days getting to know his son

This is the “hamburger” of movies. We all aspire to a four course meal in a fancy restaurant, the Citizen Kane, but more often than not a really good ‘burger is what you want. No frills, no pretentious twaddle. Just something solid, dependable, and entertaining.

I had a ton of fun with this one. Time Loop + R Rated Action + Frank Grillo + Mel Gibson + Joe Carnahan = Awesome

All we want is fun entertaining movies that have rewatchability.

Drinker remains one of the only KZfaqrs I've seen who consistently uploads and manages to be entertaining each time, love this guy

Oh man I'm so happy you did this one. Frank Grillo does not get enough roles but this one showed off all his talents.

“Yeah, that was okay actually” The golden standard for Netflix movies

This is probably the most underrated movie I've seen all year.

I *loved* this movie. After seeing it, with it's seeming lack of "the message", with it's actual FUN, I absolutely couldn't believe it had gotten made at all. I mean, in 2020-2021, how the hell did a movie meant to entertain rather than lecture us ever get made in the first place? I was dumbfounded by how good this was.

frank grillo is actually fast becoming one of my favorite action stars. he's great in this movie, captain america, beyond skyline, and the purge. he seems to be drawn towards unpretentious old school action flicks. love it.

I loved this movie, it might actually be the best video game movie I've ever seen, it included hidden npcs, multiple endings, secret dialogue and in order to get the true ending Roy needed to fucking speedrun that shit. It was awesome.

The best "Gamer" movie ever done, down to the Speedrun at the end

Bout time you got to Boss Level. One of the most surprising and fun films released in a while.

This film is Ronseal. It does exactly what is says on the tin. Spot on.

The relationship between father and son in this movie is bloody brilliant, captured that dynamic of feeling your way as a dad spectacularly well. Absolutely loved this film

I like Grillo. He really sells his performances no matter what. He prevented The Grey's support cast being so generic, and made Beyond Skyline enjoyable against some pretty big odds too.

I really like Frank Grillo. He defenitly sells the physical part of the role

I watched this movie by random decision, no regrets.

I loved this one. Brett getting the sword in the head and staggering around going "I smell- I smell- do you smell toast?" then Roy looking at his corpse and going. "Like a fucken' four-hundred-pound unicorn." absolutely slew me. I already liked Frank Grillo, but this flick set him up there as a favourite of mine, both as an actor and a stuntman.

its weird how non pretentious action films such as Boss Level and Nobody feel like a rare gem these days, makes you appreciate them more.

It's nice to see Frank Grillo getting more screen time, I've enjoyed him in everything I've seen him in.

The basic premise reminds me of the Stargate SG1 episode “Window of Opportunity”

The final battle was so satisfying I cheered. It was so well set up. There was no pulling a rabbit out of a hat, it was good setup. I mean the chopper and minigun are in the very first scene. The bad guys are just plain bad and can't be reasoned with. Roy's son is also a secondary target so he has to take them all out.

Found it on a lark and loved it. It is exactly what it tries to be. The humor is dark and dead-pan, occasionally silly but never overtly meta. Seen it twice so far and will probably see it several more times. It’s like a nice cuppa , always pleasing, never pretentious.

In a world that's remaking movies of the past, this is art imitating life. And just what is needed.

_" I am the Critical Drinker. And Critical Drinker has done this"_

Seen this a few times on my “recommended for you list” but always passed it up…..now that the Drinker gives it his stamp, guess I know what the next movie night is going to be….🤘🏻

I was so surprised by this movie. It wasn't perfect but it's so clear they had fun making it and it has heart. Genuinely more entertaining than most films in the last decade.

I watched this movie for the first time while holding my newborn son. That Side quest hit hard man.

This character actor has been around for a long time. Nice to see him get some recognition from “The Drinker”.

So glad you’re spotlighting this! One of my favorite movies in recent years and I hated how it kinda flew under the radar. It also breathed new life into the tired “time loop” plot line, which I didn’t think was possible at this point.

"I have done this". Personally, I thought this movie was awesome. It takes the same approach to games as I do. Die, die again, then die some more, until I accomplished that perfect run.

I just watched this last week, it was pretty awesome. It was like someone actually felt their job was to entertain me in exchange for my money. I'd agree that it was a breath of fresh air, but I've been watching a lot of non Hollywood stuff from the rest of the world, and they seem to feel that way about entertainment, too.

i agree whole-heartedly, not the best "time-loop-movie", but a nice mix of action, humor and emotional beats

This movie greatly exceeded my expectations and thanks to The Drinker, reminded me that I need to watch this again... and again... and again...

Stunts gallore here! Massive respect to so many stunt actors and fight choreographers giving their awesome abilities on set. Great action flick! Cheers! 🍻

"Why do I keep going back in time?!?" "To seek freedom from English tyranny!" "Uh...what?" "Sorry, old habits die hard."

I really liked this movie! It wasn't amazingly written or highbrow. It's just an old fashioned action film. A perfect counter for the soyboi bull crap Hollywood insists on producing. Frank Grillo was excellent!

This film was great. Plenty of action, good use of the time-loop, moments of humour and Grillo and his un-killable hair was a great lead. A proper action, tongue in cheek flick.

Whats this a movie with some fun elements! Don't know how this was approved by a studio in 2020 but its certainly a welcome surprise will have to check this movie out - Cheers Drinker.

Henchmen sarcastically saying "Great Plan" had me rolling, I actually had to pause the movie :D

Mel Gibson is such a cool villain. Love him in this and the Expendables. I want to see more of him playing himself as the evil big boss.

I've watched this movie a few times and it's better every time. So much freaking fun. Once again you prove yourself a man of the most refined taste, Drinker.

Okay Drinker, ya crazy reviewer, I gotta say: this was spot on. A great, no-brainer action movie that had just enough of a story and ideas that kept my interest but was just a fun flick. Great recommend as always, not that I doubted the Drinker!

I literally just watched Boss Level 4 days ago and I loved it, one of the first movies I have liked in a long time. I am also convinced now that you need good narration in a movie to get you into the action. There is just not enough time for a movie to introduce you to the creators, develop a plot and resolve that plot without narration on what the protagonist thinks.

Just saw it. A solid action film and Frank does a terrific job .

I love this movie for what it brings, but also and perhaps, especially for what it doesn’t bring! Boss Level is presented in a way that is completely indifferent to “the message” and just comes across as a genuine action film with a unique and sincere message. The chemistry between Frank Grillo and his son is captivating and it stays with you because it’s real, whereas your brain registers the cgi violence as fake, heading to the “video game” sort of feel that the rest of the movie has. That contrast is what makes Boss Level such a great movie. “Roy’s” life has essentially become a video game. Video games usually distract you from reality, and take up time that you could have spent with the ones you love. A circumstance which countless people end up regretting and wishing they could go back and change. In this case, the “video game” helps Roy get his shite together, recoup some of that lost time, save his family and become the man he desperately wants to be… and all in the span of a single day.

boss level was golden. on the strength of it i went and watched a bunch more Grillo films. Boss Level is definitely the best of them :D

If you liked this, definetely check out ''Copshop'', which is also directed by Joe Carnahan & features Frank Grillo. It's a fun little comedy/crime-thriller, which takes inspiration from John Carpenter's ''Assault of Precinct 13'' and also has Gerard Butler playing a contract killer.

I enjoyed this movie when it first came out. It's like groundhog Day with Bill Murray but updated.

This movie is literally the only reason I still have Hulu. It never gets old, I love it

Bruce Willis really does do only brief, phoned in performances now. I noticed this when I was reading the trivia sections on a website for movies he recently starred in. At least 3 said "Bruce Willis completed his acting in just one day".

Drinker is the reason I watched The Outpost. What a great movie. I’m really sick of pretentious movies. Like a lot of woke Hollywood, a lot of the later MCU and the overrated piece of sh’t that is Skyfall. I strongly believe that the last great franchise we have is Mission Impossible. Great Escapism. Great writing. Great Action. Great Heroism. Hopefully they don’t screw it up 🤞

After reviewing *_Nobody,_* I knew you'd enjoy this one Drinker. We need more of these unpretentious films. Now go watch the first 3 episodes of *_Banshee._* I suspect it'll be to your liking as well.

Definitely one of the best smaller budget films out there. More impressed that they managed to shoot all this shit in just 27 days.

My favorite part of the movie is when he finally opens his gift while standing in his kitchen. On the counter behind him, next to the waving cat, is a tall, yellow tumbler with a smiley face on it, and the words, "Have a nice day!" I had one of those when I was a kid! I remember the "lip" was sharp, and there were vertical, raised bumps and lines, as though to make it look like yellow plastic bamboo. What a blast from the past!!!

I enjoyed all but the last MINUTE of this movie, but man, they absolutely bailed on the ending.

Mel Gibson is The Boss!

This is exactly what cinema was needing. A movie describe in one word. FUN.

I watched this movie a couple months back with me ma, brother, and sister-in-law. Very fun and entertaining. Even my mom, who doesn't particularly care for violent movies really enjoyed it.

Now, lets say, hypothetically, that somebody once told me that the world would proceed to roll me, and made the claim that I was not, the smartest tool in the shed. Which would lead us to look at the facts and see that she was looking kind of dumb, due to the fact that she had placed her finger and her thumb, in the shape of the letter L, located on her forehead. This would mean that the years would start coming, and logically wont stop coming, that I was, hypothetically, fed to the rules, which would proceed with me hitting the ground running. Which didn’t make sense, to live for fun, in a way that your brain gets smart, yet your head gets dumb, seeing as there’s so much to do, and so much to see, so now I must pose the question, what is wrong with taking the backseat? This is due to the fact that you’ll never know if you don’t go, nor you will shine if you don’t glow. For you see, you are, at this moment, an All-Star, so get your game on, and proceed to go play, indeed, you’re an All-Star, get the show on, which would entitled you to get paid. That would mean that all that glitters, is indeed gold, and that only shooting stars, can participate in the process of breaking the mold.

Saw this on Prime and didn't give it a second look. But then the Drinker recommends it this morning, so I had to watch it this evening. And once again, he's 100% correct! Really enjoyed it, might even have to give it a 2nd go! Cheers pal, without this, I would have missed out on this little gem!

God, I fucking love this crazy little thing. Grillo is low key one of the girders of action cinema in the last decade.

Thanks for the rec, Drinker. This was a bad-ass movie that I probably would have missed.

The kudos to Frank Grillo are very deserved. The real man is a guy's guy playing a real man. Oh how we've missed this!!!

You're the best, Drinker! I'm so happy to see this movie's getting some well-earned recognition. I watched this little gem and loved it. It was an instant buy on Blu Ray for me.

Boss level took me completely by surprise. I had little expectation and found myself really enjoying it. And yeah, all I could think in the end was... Cracking little film. I hope it gets a follow up.

I didn't know this movie even existed before the Drinker reviewed it just now. And it took only 1 minute deep into this video to see that i want to watch this movie. And honestly, i liked it. Simple, action packed, good movie. Solid acting as well. I'd recommend it. Thank you Drinker!

"Stubborn determination, irritation, desperation, and resignation." Now that's great narration! :D

I just watched this movie 100% based off of this recommendation Drinker, and I was not disappointed in the least. If I get halfway through these videos and it seems like a movie I might enjoy, I stop the video, watch the movie (100% legally, I promise) and then come back and finish the video. Thanks for the recommendation my friend

Was waiting for your take on this. Watched it like a month back and just sat there pleased after the 90 mins fun this movie provided.

Groundhog Day with a shitload of firepower? I'm in!! Thank you once again for adding what looks like another really fun movie to my Netflix queue.

I just discovered this and was pleasantly surprised. Frank Grillo gave one of his best performances and this film was well directed and well edited. It's always nice to discover a gem on streaming.

This movie was so damn good. This film and Palm Springs were two of my favorite films in the past couple of years.

Man, I totally missed that when it came out. I like it. You never (well, almost) fail to deliver.

A completely entertaining and FUN action movie. Grillo is a solid actor!

Have really enjoyed your channel and learned so much in terms of understanding 'mechanics' of films - cheers to you! Loved this movie!

Thanks for bringing this film up, I was greatly entertained with this one.

For me, THE sci-fi action movie of the year. Frank was absolutely awesome in this film. This was the almost extinct escapism i thougt i will never see again. It makes me hope again for the film industry. And by the way, the most positive "go away noe" since loooong times...

I love Frank. Dude is awesome. Him and Scott Adkins.

loved this movie. totally surprised me.... thought I would only watch like 10 minutes of it before bed, but it was captivating.

Good shout Mr Drinker ! I watched this last week and it’s good fun! Worth a watch 👍🏼

I watched it because you recommended it and honestly it was still way better than I thought it would be. Drinker ftw

The drinker approves this strategy- my motto for 2021 and years beyond

I actually think Gibson did a good job. He had a nice monologue about the wild boar and the snake.

Yo CD, love your reviews and I'm 100% with you on this one. I just turned it on one morning, watched it and really enjoyed it. Watched it a second time about a month ago. Thanks

Amazing what can happen when imagination, creativity, and a sense of humor can do when unpretentiously used together.

I've found and rediscovered so many good movies and shows thanks to your reviews. This is another one I'll add to my list.

Thank you, Drinker! Boss Level rules, and Frank Grillo is the fucking man! Deserves to be a bigger star than he is, and should've been cast as The Punisher. This movie kicks so much ass and proves how fun a movie can be when it doesn't try to be more than what it is, and doesn't hype itself as the "must see movie event of the year" that seems to come out every week. It's just saying "Hey, we're here to have a good time. Why don't you come along for the ride?" And I fucking love it.

So... much... fun. Even the slower expository parts are narrated in a sort of film-noir way that's entertaining.

This film is an underappreciated gem & I'm glad you finally made a video about it!

A friend showed me this movie a month ago. I Looooved every second of It.

Thanks for covering this one. I reluctantly gave it a go and was very pleasantly surprised.

A fantastic easy going film to utterly enjoy. Wonderfully orchestrated throughout. One of the best films of the year without doubt. Loved it. 🤘🏾🔥 Great review

I loved this movie for all the reasons you explain in the first min of this video. Love your videos man!

Yep felt the same, good fun movie. I like how well Grillo did too - he is a likeable actor. Did not know he was 56!
