迴路追殺令Boss Level 電影介紹- 電影神搜 - 電影神搜資料庫

無雷影評心得│《迴路追殺令》（Boss Level）只有愛オ是永恆，超越一切時空

生活是個不斷重複的過程，只有愛常存心中，不管歷經多少歲月，無法磨滅的情感，超越時空，不斷地輕輕呼喚著。面對生死輪迴，留下的總是愛的覊絆，沉溺於過往感傷的眼神，一直迴旋於現實當中，即使遠赴未來，仍是那份永無法割捨的愛。

< https://is.gd/6li6Dh >

不管如何地老天荒，生命透過各種不同面貌和形式輪迴，不斷重演著上百回合的生與死。在時間無涯的荒野裡，永恆的愛，緣盡卻情未了，彼此心繫對方，無人可以取代，尤其面對生死關頭，還是相信那個心上人，況且還有個愛情結晶，孩子是永遠的牽掛。無論任何時空行旅中，親情與愛情都是人世間最美的風景。

由攞有演員與製片身份的美國導演喬卡納漢（Joe Carnahan）執導的《迴路追殺令》（Boss Level），描繪特種部隊退役軍官羅伊Roy (法蘭克葛里洛Frank Grillo飾)每天過著荒腔走板的頹唐生活，經常在生死邊緣徘徊，「每天都一樣，只有細節不同。」他知道唯一不變的是他會死。在頹唐耍廢，醉生夢死的日子，他醒來身邊總是不同的女人。真不知他有多少的敵人，來自各方人馬找他格鬪，隨時隨地置身險境，然而在一陣激烈槍林彈雨之戰，他常是死而復生，不斷地在不同面貌與形式，歷經生死輪迴，有如生存競爭空間遊戲般，虛擬情境，生死幻滅，不斷重複著。

因某種因素與科學家妻子潔瑪Jemma Wells(娜歐蜜華茲Naomi Watts 飾)離婚的羅伊，對舊愛不忘，潔瑪仍一直在他的心中。就連羅伊身旁女友都看出他心之所繫，「我眼中看見那份感傷」，鬼混一陣的女人都知道他對前妻念念不忘。而身為熟知科技晶片機密的潔瑪，設法阻撓她頂頭上司克里夫凡特上校Col. Clive Ventor(梅爾吉勃遜Mel Gibson 飾)想以科技邪惡之力佈局的計謀，邪惡的軍事科技專家企圖設計晶片掌控局勢，滿足統治野心。為了不讓世界面臨恐怖威脅，潔瑪想粉粹邪力入侵，拯救人類萬劫不復局面，而將晶片植入了前夫羅伊身上。因她一直還愛著他，一如他們的共同兒子，雖然離異，夫妻緣盡，而情未了，他們與愛情結晶，不管任何時空，仍如生命共同體。在天地間她只相信羅伊一個，她永遠信賴著她初識的那個男人。

《迴路追殺令》片中激烈爆破場面相當慘烈，許多特效鏡頭，充滿著暴力動作影像。在諸多的廝殺亂鬪之中，彷若演示暴力美學的電影，包括突如其來的揮刀、超速開車、槍戰追殺、破窗後直線墜落地面等，挑戰觀影人的視覺接受度。男主角羅伊不斷在時間的輪迴裡，經歷不同生死形式與面貌的挑戰。生死之間，有著時間片刻不留，永遠往前推移的一去不復返感悟。羅伊與兒子的父子平淡而交心的對話，他在孩子的眼眸看見前妻潔瑪的影子。事實上也有著他的眼神，無法陪伴看著孩子成長許是一種遺憾，然而父子情無法割捨，所有親情悸動都在神色之中。這段拍得極為感性。片中透露了頗有哲學意味的話語「生活是一個重複不斷的過程」，時間永不留停，過往傷逝不可追，現在不能把握，至於不可知的未來能夠期盼嗎?

在超大銀幕觀著試片時，感覺置身於電玩遊戲的虛擬之中，一切都玩假的，死而復生的把戲超多次，正如遊戲的過關斬將，英雄永遠不死的百變神話。生死一線之隔，輕鬆浮誇，所有勁爆場景，娛樂效果，噱頭十足，火爆激烈的槍林彈雨，或是刀光劍影廝殺，甚至首身分離，頭顱落地，都在「我是觀音，我不只㑹坐蓮」的對白中，令人嘩然好笑。中國劍術在片中十分神勇，羅伊在中國劍道高手馮黛(楊紫瓊飾)的調教下，竟然打敗了自稱為觀音的膽大技高女劍士，還丟下了模仿話語「我是羅伊，我不在坐蓮」，更是一個特製笑梗。在一陣狠打亂鬪的武打戲後，緊張過後帶點風趣的對白，常是美式幽默動作的風格。

緊湊刺激而爽嗨的《迴路追殺令》，以電玩遊戲概念置入的激烈動作電影中，多場火拼大亂鬪、刀光劍影、槍林彈雨中，虛擬時空穿梭在現實與過去，甚至未來，交錯場景，一團謎霧，娛樂噱頭十足。令人印象深刻的是爆烈亂鬪中，以重複的整體結構，讓一部動作片脫離單調，再加上虛擬、神話、親情、夫妻情深、時代感（美國對中國的愛恨情仇），以及幾個小人物、小動作的幽默搞笑，總合出毫不冷場的觀影樂趣。

如同遊戲般的上百回合生而復生概念，集動作、科幻、驚悚、懸疑、親情、愛情元素於一身的《迴路追殺令》，是一部娛樂性極高的商業科幻動作影片。在如此激烈動作鏡頭包裝下，片中不忘傳遞親情永恆不變，及堅貞愛情可以超越時空，最後的眼神鏡頭，呼應了靈魂內在的契合，信任彼此的生死與共，是所有外相或形式所無法取代的。我想起現代科技達人伊隆馬斯克的一句話「物理是思維的良好框架……追索到事情的本質，再從那裡思考和判斷下去。」我想生死之間，人類再如何地以萬劫不復，不管用多種元素包裝下，最動人的還是永不磨滅的愛。無論外在形式如何，在永無止境的時空輪迴旋移中，內在本質的情愛，那是最溫柔的人性光輝。

發行《迴路追殺令》的采昌國際多媒體公司，提供有關電影的資料如下:

關於電影

《迴路追殺令》，由曾執導過《天龍特攻隊》（The A-Team）的喬卡納漢（Joe Carnahan）擔任導演，並請來《美國隊長》（Captain America）中的反派「十字骨」法蘭克葛里洛（Frank Grillo）、奧斯卡與金球獎得主梅爾吉勃遜（Mel Gibson）、《金剛》（King Kong）娜歐蜜華茲（Naomi Watts）等人領銜主演；更集結《臥虎藏龍》楊紫瓊，以及《醉後大丈夫》（The Hangover）系列中的經典角色「老周」鄭肯等人驚喜現身。讓人意想不到的強大卡司，加上宛如《追殺比爾》（Kill Bill）與《明日邊界》（Edge of Tomorrow）的劇情，透過遊戲般的精采概念，集動作、科幻、驚悚、懸疑等元素於一爐，並融合東西方元素，刀、劍、槍、砲、彈藥、肉搏一應俱全；各式兇狠的殺手紛紛出籠，與男主角展開瘋狂大亂鬥，全程驚喜不斷，瘋狂刺激想像！

本片的製作過程，始於編導喬卡納漢讀到一部劇本，同時具備他所喜愛的要素：「最初的劇本名為《繼續》（Continue），由克里斯博瑞（Chris Borey）與艾迪博瑞（Eddie Borey）兄弟檔編寫。我認為劇本創意十足又很聰明，但真正讓我喜歡的，是故事中那位不稱職的父親與丈夫，以及透過科幻情節的劇情轉折，不斷經歷同一個時刻的構想。如果他嘗試闖關、試圖解開謎團的次數夠多，就能彌補他的過錯，並在所愛之人眼中挽回自己的形象。」於是他開始著手重寫劇本，並加入關鍵的情感核心，足以感動更多觀眾。

導演表示：「如果缺少情感核心，這樣的電影就只會淪為是種噱頭。你會認為：『好，主角每天都會復活，但這是為什麼？』所以這部電影需要更多情感糾葛！」他也補充更改片名的原因：「『魔王關』（Boss Level）是任何電玩玩家都會立刻理解的用詞，指的是最終大魔王，是格鬥遊戲中難度最高、最棘手的一關。在電影當中，這形成男主角試圖找到邪惡科學家時，不斷遭到殺害然後重生繼續闖關的構想。這位『魔王』就是邪惡科學家，也是主角試圖殺光所有殺手之後，所要面對的最終挑戰。我認為這個詞很酷，唸來鏗鏘有力。」

有關導演

喬卡納漢（Joe Carnahan），1969��5月9日出生於美國加州，身兼導演、編劇、製片與演員身份。他早期以獨立製片備受矚目，第一部長片是他自編、自導、自演的《48小時追殺令》（Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane）。該片由他自行籌措資金，並在1998年於日舞影展進行首映。他之後在2015年編撰並執導電影《玩命狂飆》（Stretch），而在這之前，他也編撰並執導由連恩尼遜（Liam Neeson）主演的賣座電影《即刻獵殺》（The Grey）。這是兩人繼2010年把備受喜愛的電視劇《天龍特攻隊》（The A-Team）搬上大銀幕後的再次合作。而在大受歡迎的電影《五路追殺令》（Smokin' Aces）之前，他還拍過廣受好評的警探劇情片《緝毒特警》（Narc），該片更讓他問鼎獨立精神獎「最佳導演」。

他在2021年推出睽違七年的最新導演作品《迴路追殺令》，描述特種軍官被困在一個永無止盡的時間循環當中。在時間不斷循環之下，他每天起床都將被不同的方法殺死，讓他必須扭轉乾坤，才能挽回深愛的前妻，甚至拯救全世界。

Boss Level

[3 stars]

It’s been a long while since we’ve had a Joe Carnahan (The Grey) directed film to enjoy. His last two major credits were just his scripts: Bad Boys For Life and Death Wish. The man knows suspense and action. I do wish he knew how to cast and direct actors a bit better, but you can’t have everything. Boss Level is a high-octane ride from start to finish, delivering a sort of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World meets Palm Springs.

The base weakness of the film is its lead, Frank Grillo (Disconnect, Avengers: Endgame). While Grillo is a great action actor, he doesn’t quite have the charisma and rakish charm necessary to be the leading man in a flick, even when that flick is mostly gritty action. It’s not a slam so much as a simple reality: some actors have “it” and some don’t. More the problem, after other darker anti-heroes like Deadpool, expectations are pretty high on how the character has to control the screen.

But the story is fun. Carnahan shares credit with Chris and Eddie Borey for the script. And it is nicely constructed, if a little late to the party on time-loop action tales. A shame, really; if it had come out sooner, it would have felt more unique.

Fortunately, with Naomi Watts (Ophelia) and a, surprisingly, contained and menacing Mel Gibson (The Expendables), there are some solid framing performances to hold it all down. Additional roles with Will Sasso (Klaus) and a much under-utilized Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery) help things along as well.

Boss Level was originally intended for a feature release. I think the shift to stream will actually gives it a better and longer life in the movie firmament. On screen it would have bombed, but as a stream, it better meets expectations and certainly entertains.

Boss Level Pushes Action Movie Time Loops to Their Limits

https://ift.tt/3qllac6

The new action sci-fi thriller Boss Level begins with former Special Forces agent Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo) and an unnamed woman waking up in Pulver’s bed, fully clothed, after what looks like a rough night. But things get rougher very quickly, as an assassin enters Pulver’s apartment and attempts to kill him. Pulver defeats him but ends up dying anyway–only to wake up the next morning and do the whole thing again, perhaps living a little longer and getting killed by someone else, but still dying.

In a running voiceover, Pulver casually informs us that this is the 140th time he’s done this. And he still can’t figure out why or how it’s happening, or how to break out of the time loop he’s stuck in. All he knows is that he will wake up again on the very same morning and despite doing everything he can to prevent it, will nevertheless get shot or stabbed, or beheaded or run over, for reasons unknown. He also knows that his destiny is linked to that of his scientist ex-wife (Naomi Watts), the son who doesn’t know Pulver is his father (Rio Grillo) and his ex-wife’s sinister boss (Mel Gibson).

Boss Level is directed and co-written by Joe Carnahan, who revamped a script originally written by Chris and Eddie Borey. It’s the first feature film Carnahan has directed since 2015’s Stretch, and continues his exploration of taking different approaches to hardcore action and crime thrillers, a track record that includes movies like The Grey (2011), The A-Team (2010), Smokin’ Aces (2006), and Narc (2002). But Boss Level is different in that it also represents Carnahan’s first full dive into sci-fi territory.

“The Boreys wrote this really great script called Continue,” says Carnahan when we connect via Zoom. “I had read it. It started out as kind of a rewrite job. I dug it, because I’ve always loved, as I think a lot of us do, the subgenre of the time loop. It’s kind of a proven commodity in movies. As I got into it more, I was like, ‘I’m not really a sci-fi guy.’ But [late director] Tony Scott, rest his soul, was one of my great mentors. I always loved the way he treated Déjà Vu, which is a great kind of brick and mortar approach to time travel.”

Carnahan says he applied the same approach to what eventually became Boss Level, explaining, “The more fantastical elements of it, I wasn’t really concerned about. But I did love the idea of kind of combining Groundhog Day and Die Hard–the way I think that Doug Liman did it with Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow. But I thought it’d be much funnier if the guy was just bored stiff by all of it and didn’t know what the hell to do.”

The title of the movie itself is a gaming reference (the “boss level” is the final and usually most challenging level of a video game), and Carnahan admits that the narrative is set up to mirror the way a player moves through the levels of a game–sometimes repeating them over and over again.

“That was absolutely deliberate,” he says. “I’m not a huge gamer. But when I was a kid, I played all those games. And it’s funny, I play with my kids now, I have an old stand-up that’s got all these games on it. I got to load up that arcade with all my favorites, Robotron, Galaga–all these dumb games that I loved. So I built that in, but I never wanted that to overwhelm the central core of the story.”

Incredibly, Carnahan’s journey to get Boss Level made started as he was finishing up The Grey more than a decade ago. He had worked with Frank Grillo on that film (now a minor cult classic) and wanted Grillo for the part of Pulver in his time loop tale. But getting the backing to make it was an entirely different story and took 10 years, eventually employing what Carnahan describes as “not a traditional financing structure… every piece of bad luck you could encounter, we basically went through it all.”

Boss Level is Groundhog Day with a Badass Thanks to Frank Grillo

By Bernard Boo

Boss Level is now premiering on Hulu, a result of its long, twisting road to existence, the rise of streaming outlets and the effects of the pandemic on traditional theatrical releases.

“I think the age of our traditional theatrical exhibition is done as we knew it,” says Carnahan confidently. “I think it’s going to shift in ways that people who are at the leading edge of that right now are figuring out… But I don’t think we’re going to go back to 350, 400 seats in a traditional kind of–I just don’t think you’re going to have that happening. Not for the foreseeable future.”

The future, both long term and short term, is very much at the heart of Boss Level. Grillo’s Roy Pulver begins to gradually extend his lifespan on each turn of the loop, living a little longer every go-round and discovering another piece of information that he needs to solve the puzzle he’s trapped in. But while Pulver’s life, those of his wife and son, and possibly many others are at stake, Carnahan says that first and foremost he wanted to make a bonkers action movie that pushed the genre to its limits.

“I was able to make an action movie/Three Stooges film,” he says. “So it was kind of an ideal scenario for me, because we could really go bananas and gonzo with the stuff that we were doing. But listen, you’re always looking to evolve the form. I think that we want to keep pushing it. I don’t know that you’re going to be able to do just the straight action film anymore without any kind of emotional content–without some sort of heart and soul. I think the Marvel films have done this so well, combining this big kind of spectacle action filmmaking with heart, with these small, idiosyncratic and quirky moments.”

Boss Level is the latest movie to emerge from Warparty, the production company that Carnahan and Grillo officially began in 2016. Grillo, of course, has enjoyed a long career as one of film’s most reliable tough guys, especially in movies like The Grey, End of Watch, Zero Dark Thirty, The Purge: Anarchy, and The Purge: Election Year, while also playing the villainous Brock Rumlow/Crossbones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Carnahan says that their similar tastes and outlook is what makes the partnership work and drives their acquisition of material to produce.

“We’re always looking for kind of elevated genre stuff,” Carnahan says. “Stuff that we think we can sink our teeth into and make better than the sum of its parts, [so] that we’re not just doing an action film, or a horror film, or a thriller. We want to plus it up. Frank and I have a great ease of use. We have a great shorthand at this point. We just know how the other one’s going to move in a situation and what to expect, and so on. There’s great comfort and certainly great creative strength in that.”

With both men producing, Grillo acting and Carnahan directing or writing or both, the pair have several formidable projects coming down the pipeline. One is an English language version of the already classic 2011 Indonesian action thriller The Raid, which has yet to start filming, while the other, Copshop, is now in post-production. The latter film teams Grillo with Gerard Butler, and Carnahan promises that the sparks will fly between the two action heavyweights.

“They’re dynamite,” the director exclaims. “I’ll say right now, I don’t know that Gerry’s ever been better in a movie. That’s how good he is in Copshop. He’s dynamite, man. He’s really, really something in this film. I think people are going to kind of be blown away. And then there’s this young woman, Alexis Lauder, who’s basically the lead of the film. She’s just a movie star. She’s just absolutely captivating. And the movie is really good. I’m very proud of it and I think audiences are going to dig it.”

As for whether we’ll see Butler and Grillo go head to head in a fight sequence or two in the film, Carnahan doesn’t want to get into details but adds, “We’re not going to disappoint people.”

Right now, however, Carnahan is focused on getting the word out about Boss Level, and is not shy about what he thinks he, Grillo, and their team have accomplished with it.

“I think it’s the best action movie of the last five years,” he says. “I just think it’s awesome and it’s funny. It’s rare that you make a film where everything that movie tries to do, it succeeds at doing. I think that’s a great testament to the people involved in it and how, even when it seemed like it was born under a bad sign, we still persevered. I just think it’s a blast, and a hell of a lot of fun on a Friday or Saturday night.”

Boss Level begins streaming now on Hulu.

Frank Grillo’s Boss Level Goes Straight to Streaming on Hulu

atOptions = { 'key' : 'd494f31de29283910f86ef7e1d9db409', 'format' : 'iframe', 'height' : 90, 'width' : 728, 'params' : {} }; document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http' + (location.protocol === 'https:' ? 's' : '') + '://www.topdisplaynetwork.com/d494f31de29283910f86ef7e1d9db409/invoke.js">' + 'ipt>');

Hulu has cut a deal for the rights to Boss Level. The new sci-fi movie, which stars Mel Gibson and Frank Grillo, was originally destined for theaters. But like many other movies before it this year, that became unrealistic. Instead, it will have a streaming debut in 2021, bringing the latest from director Joe Carnahan to Hulu subscribers from the comfort of their homes.

According to a new report, Hulu paid somewhere in the low eight-figure range for the U.S. rights to Boss Level, though the precise price tag was not revealed. The movie is said to carry a $45 million budget. Interestingly, the deal is just for the U.S. rights. It’s said that theatrical rights have been sold internationally, which means box office dollars are still on the table from overseas. But domestic moviegoers will need to be content with watching this one at home.

Boss Level centers on a former special forces agent named Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo). He is trapped in a time loop that constantly repeats the day of his murder. In the time loop, he uncovers clues about a secret government project that could unlock the mystery behind his death. In a race against the clock, Roy must hunt down Colonel Ventor (Mel Gibson), the powerful head of the government program. Meanwhile, he must also outrun skilled assassins who are determined to keep him from the truth.

The cast also includes Naomi Watts, Will Sasso, Ken Jeong, Annabelle Wallis, Michelle Yeoh and Selina Lo. For Mel Gibson, this is another relatively high-profile project. Gibson has been trying to make a comeback in recent years. The iconic actor most recently starred in the holiday movie Fatman. Gibson is also working on Passion of the Christ 2 and may return to star in Lethal Weapon 5.

As for Frank Grillo, he is best known as Brock Rumlow/Crossbones from Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. Some of his other credits include The Purge: Anarchy, Donnybrook, Wheelman and Wolf Warrior 2. Grillo previously collaborated with director Joe Carnahan on The Grey. Carnahan, who is known for directing Smokin’ Aces and The A-Team, co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Borey and Eddie Borey. Carnahan and Frank Grillo also serve as producers alongside Randall Emmett, George Furla and Ridley Scott, whose Scott Free production company backed the movie.

Initially, Entertainment Studios was on board to distribute the movie but that deal fell through. Prior to the movie theater shutdown in March, it was screened at the Arclight Cinemas in Los Angeles back in February. While official reviews haven’t yet been shared, the social media response coming out of the screening was largely positive. There is no word yet on a specific release date for Boss Level but it will debut on Hulu sometime in 2021. This news comes to us via Deadline.
