Boy Kills World review: "A gleefully bonkers blend of The Hunger Games and The Raid"

Bill Skarsgard in Boy Kills World.

Do the Skarsgård brothers share the same trainer? You have to wonder given Bill Skarsgård’s shredded physique in Moritz Mohr’s gonzo actioner, a muscular morphosis to match his older sibling Alexander’s uber-ripped build in The Northman. 

A gleefully bonkers blend of The Hunger Games and The Raid (one that features the latter’s martial arts maven Yayan Ruhian in a leading role), Boy Kills World centers on a deaf orphan on a one-man mission to avenge himself on the totalitarian regime he blames for offing his family. Skarsgård’s Boy lets his brawn do the talking – or he would, were his every move not accompanied by H. Jon Benjamin (of Bob’s Burgers fame) as an inner voice modeled on the narrator of Boy’s favorite childhood video game.
