Film Review – Boy Kills World

“Boy Kills World” apparently began life as a short film, co-created by Moritz Mohr. He’s been handed an opportunity to develop the effort, with screenwriters Tyler Burton Smith (2019’s “Child’s Play” remake) and Arend Remmers creating a feature-length take on the concept, which follows a deaf and mute young man as he undertakes the challenge of vengeance against a crime family with plenty of protection. It’s the stuff of simple cinema, and perhaps it once was. However, the new “Boy Kills World” feels the need to fatten its plot with needless complication, trying to offer viewers an epic study of revenge instead of merely remaining a hyperactive action endeavor. Mohr creates a confusing viewing experience along the way, with the general sugar-rush tone of the opening hour eventually traded for a heavier, slower study of family pain, making for a disappointingly uneven movie.
