It's the first Godzilla film where I didn't want Godzilla to mash up the city because you really cared for these people trying to recover from war.
I went to see Boy Kills World (2024 via cinema) and I really enjoyed it.
There are quite a few parallels with Monkey Man, but it's definitely its own thing.
It's more angled towards comedy, so there are quite a few funny moments, but it's still a brutal and gory revenge actioner.
Bill Skarsgård is really good as "Boy" and a convincing screen fighter with some slightly jerky fights (less pronounced than Monkey Man), but it's easy to track the action and there are some inventive and fun fight scenes, even if the soldiers have had the same target training as Stormtroopers.
Yayan Ruhian is just phenomenal when he fights, though.
He's the guy who played Mad Dog in The Raid and Prakoso in The Raid 2 and you know he'd break every bone in your body before you hit the floor.
