While the new action thriller Boy Kills World is based on an original story, that hasn’t stopped it from gaining plenty of comparisons to existing franchises. Our review calls it John Wick meets The Hunger Games, and it seems we’re not the only ones to have drawn parallels to iconic action movies.
Asked about how he feels about the comparison, director Moritz Mohr tells GamesRadar+ and the Inside Total Film podcast that it’s a thrill, but he’s not sure it’s entirely accurate. "That's an honor to some degree because these films are just amazing," he says. "I think we are coming from a slightly different angle there because we tried to make a martial arts movie and then we added some guns to it whereas John Wick had guns and then it sort of added some martial arts to it, even more towards the later installments of the series. So yeah, I mean, those are gorgeous-looking action movies, but top-notch action, so if people want to compare them, I'm all for it."
