Boss Level explores the popular time-loop genre in an action-movie context. B-movie stalwart Frank Grillo stars as a grizzled former military operative who finds himself getting killed over and over again by a colorful assortment of assassins, only to restart his day every time he dies. Director Joe Carnahan structures the movie like an old-school video game as the main character fights his way up to the big boss (played by Mel Gibson), quipping all the way.

As superhero movies become bigger and bigger behemoths, it’s refreshing to see Ryan Reynolds as snarky Marvel antihero

Joe Taslim felt like he was born to play Sub-Zero, a fan-favorite assassin in the
Mortal Kombat franchise. The 39-year-old actor is no stranger to action, making a name for himself in
The Raid, an Indonesian film that raised the bar on action films. He would later appear in big blockbusters like
Fast & Furious 6 and
Warrior. He recounts his time transforming himself into the cold “kombatant.”
“Huge fan of Sub-Zero since I was a kid,” Taslim said. “When you read the script to play this character, you create all the imaginations, how it’s going to look, how you’re going to walk and everything. But the first time I was in that costume and looking at myself in the mirror, I was like, ‘Okay! Oh, yeah! This is it!’ Like I was born to do this and I am Sub-Zero. The energy is great. It just helped me a lot through the process and to get into the shoes, like embodying this character. The costume is very important, I gotta say.”
