Frank Grillo Gets His Own ‘Happy Death Day’ With Joe Carnahan’s Wild Action Movie ‘Boss Level’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Instead of going to theaters as originally planned, The Grey director Joe Carnahan‘s new movie Boss Level will be going straight to Hulu on March 5, and the trailer has arrived today.

Boss Level traps Frank Grillo in a Happy Death Day-style death loop, killed over and over again in increasingly brutal ways until he can find a way to break the chain of events.

Find the official plot synopsis below, along with the just-released trailer for Boss Level. Unlike Happy Death Day it looks like we’re getting rated “R” violence from this one, with Grillo’s character being brutalized in all kinds of nasty ways – up to and including a beheading. It’s always great to see Grillo in leading roles, and this should be an ultra-violent good time.

In the film…

“A retired special forces officer is trapped in a never ending time loop on the day of his death.”

Naomi Watts, Mel Gibson, Ken Jeong, Annabelle Wallis and Michelle Yeoh also star.

Carnahan wrote the script with Chris Borey and Eddie Borey.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
