Why watch this film?
The story behind 'Boss Level' is curious. It started back in the 2010s, when brothers Chris and Eddie Borey presented the movie project to filmmaker Joe Carnahan. The connection was instant. They shook hands and went out looking for a studio to make the project. It happened to be 20th Century Fox in 2012. Since then, however, things have taken a while to get going: Fox went looking for a new owner (which would later be Disney, years later) and abandoned the project, which ended up being independently funded in 2017. In 2018, they filmed everything. And only three years later, almost like a wounded hero in battle, 'Boss Level' arrived in Brazil. And it's no wonder. After all, the good story of the feature film follows a man (Frank Grillo) who relives the day of his death over and over again. But nothing like Groundhog Day, as in 'Feitiço do Tempo'. Here, despite the similar premise, we have exploding helicopters, action rolling loose and bombs here and there, with the added bonus of director Joe Carnahan simply not taking himself seriously, ensuring good scenes of Grillo and Mel Gibson. It's not an original or memorable movie, but it definitely serves as a fun pastime.

Copshop
"Copshop" is one of those action movies that mixes adrenaline and tension with completely unexpected situations, which contribute to a dynamic that is even comical. The feature film is directed by Joe Carnahan ("Kill or Die") and stars Frank Grillo ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier") and Gerard Butler ("300"), who contribute to driving the story with animation and dynamism. Grillo plays a fugitive trying to escape from another criminal (Butler), and for this he commits a small crime and goes to jail in a quiet rural police station. Eventually, the place serves as the stage for a violent dispute between criminals in search of survival. The film carries a refreshing air to the action genre, with a well-established story that leads to an extremely climatic third act, for fans to vibrate and delight in a well-developed conflict resolution.
Action
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
Enemies Closer
Enemies Closer, a movie starring Van Damme, brings a fun story: Henry (Tom Everett Scott) and Clay (Orlando Jones) are mortal enemies who must set aside their differences to help a drug lord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) locate a missing drug shipment. The film features a plot full of twists that keeps the viewer constantly engaged, in a good mix of suspense and action. Van Damme also steps out of his comfort zone, playing this crime boss full of quirks - but still with plenty of brawling.
