If you enjoyed the dark and sometimes outlandish comedy, high-octane well-choreographed fight scenes, and artful graphic violence in "Bullet Train", then you might like "Boy Kills World". I personally really enjoyed how very dynamic and mobile the camera work was during the fight scenes.
Also, H. Jon Benjamin is the inner voice of our MC since he's deaf-mute.
BUT where "Bullet Train" ended in a casual and happy "just another day in the life of an assassin" tone, "Boy Kills World" ended in an emotionally significant tone to the MC. There's also less colorful side-characters and focus on them in "Boy Kills World" since most of the focus is in our MC.
"Boy Kills World" is also eventually significantly more violent than "Bullet Train". In one fight scene, our MC used a grater box as a weapon. I consider myself desensitized to most violence in movies, but damn that scene had me cringing afff. Also, the final fight scene is very serious and deliciously brutal. I honestly didn't expect it would play out so intensely and grittily.
Overall, it's a movie with a simple revenge plot but presented violently and interestingly. Really impressed with this director's debut film.
