Boy Kills World
Set is a dystopian future, a man (Bill Skarsgarrd) who's mute, deaf and has the story narrated by a Arcade Game Voiceover, seeks revenge against the ruling family who murdered his mother and sister. He is trained by a Shaman and links up with a couple of Revolutionaries. Similar in tone as Hobo With A Shotgun and Turbo Kid, this is has an interesting concept, is very violent (A scene with a cheese grater is particular wince inducing) but unfortunately at around 110 minutes, it is too long. If it was 20 minutes shorter, it would have been so much more enjoyable.
However the training scenes are really good, it is funny and as I've said, delivers on the gore that was promised. Famke Jannson, Andrew Koji and Sharlto Copley co-star.
It is worth a go though if this sort of thing interests you.
