Frank Grillo was recently heard voicing his Marvel movies baddie character Brock Rumlow/Crossbones in Marvel Studios’ What If…? on Disney+, but he’s back in theaters again this weekend in the gritty action film COPSHOP. It’s Grillo’s sixth movie with writer-director Joe Carnahan, and has Grillo playing a man bun-wearing sleazy...

Joe Carnahan’s Tarantino impression, the same one he’s been tweaking since Narc and Smokin’ Aces, has never been closer to the genuine article as it is in his latest, Copshop. The gnarly throwback crime thriller has all the tenets of the most famous ‘70s-worshipping auteur; a grooving, percussive soundtrack, chatty lead characters, unhurried pacing, and trigger-happy scumbags who populate this pulpy, shoot ‘em up B-movie that will leave genre fans pleased as punch.

Joe Carnahan's thriller, also featuring Frank Grillo and Alexis Louder, concerns a ruthless hitman and his would-be prey who get locked up in the same jail. Joe Carnahan's action pic featuring Mel Gibson and Naomi Watts sticks a tough guy (Frank Grillo) in a man-made time loop. Movie Reviews. Mar...

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Boss Level.]. From director Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The Grey), the Hulu original film Boss Level is an action-drama time loop story of one really, really, really bad day for Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo), as he continues to be slaughtered by assassins in different ways, every time it starts over again. He’s been shot, stabbed, blown up and beheaded, all while trying to save his ex-wife (Naomi Watts) and 11-year-old son (played by Frank’s real-life son Rio Grillo) and somehow get them to the next day.

The whole "repeat the same day over and over again" has been done before, by a ton of different filmmakers in different genres, all to varying degrees of success. None have been done quite like Boss Level, which was just released on Hulu this month. The film brings an action-heavy approach and a sense of dark humor to its time loop, aiming to feel more like a video game than a movie at times. It's a unique experience, and it took a couple of unique brains to bring it to life.

In theory, director Joe Carnahan’s latest hyper-macho action movie “Boss Level” is a forgettable, but tolerable entry in the never-ending cycle of streaming service dumps that has replaced the straight-to-DVD industry. In practice, it’s one of the worst films of the last decade, a scourge on the concept of filmed...

There are certain directors who could easily be a character in one of their own movies. Joe Carnahan is one of those filmmakers. He’s got an energy and personality that would feel right at home in his more fast-talking, adrenaline-fueled movies. Of course, Carnahan starred in his first movie, Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane, and appeared in his bombastic popcorn movie The A-Team, as well as his one night-gone-wrong in Los Angeles film, Stretch.

CS Video: Joe Carnahan & Frank Grillo on time loop actioner Boss Level. Just in time for the film’s arrival on the streaming platform, ComingSoon.net got the opportunity to chat with writer/director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) and star Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to discuss their work on Hulu’s time looping action thriller Boss Level.

Good things come to those who wait, and no one knows this better than filmmaker Joe Carnahan and his producing partner/muse Frank Grillo. After 10 years, logistical nightmares (their original 43 day long shooting schedule was cut down to 27 days at the last minute), and a freaking pandemic, their time-loop, ’80s inspired, action thriller Boss Level starts streaming on Hulu today, Friday, March 5.

(NEW YORK) — Writer-director Joe Carnahan exploded onto the scene with the tense 2002 drug drama Narc, and has consistently been the go-to guy for gritty action films like 2006’s Smokin’ Aces with Ryan Reynolds and Common, and 2011’s The Grey with Liam Neeson. His latest is the Hulu action...
