Reviews
- "BOY KILLS WORLD is a two-hour roller coaster. You’ll leave exhausted and beaten, and yet feeling like maybe you too can defeat the fascist dictators in your life."
- Film Threat - "For all its simplicity, BOY KILLS WORLD does pull off a pretty neat narrative switcheroo late in the game that completely turns the film over its head and significantly alters the stakes. Think of it as a secret level unlocked after you think you’ve reached the end of the game."
- The Playlist - "A high-octane action extravaganza sure to satiate genre fans’ delirious bloodlust."
