![]() With a lot of booze and a pair of plyers, Roy takes care of the tracker, finally giving him a snowball's chance of surviving. In the Chinese restaurant where he's been killed so many times, Roy talks to the annoying security consultant Dave (Sheaun McKinney), who helps him discover he has a tracking device in his tooth. ![]() This is Roy's second big clue, as it lets him know the killers couldn't find him because he was underground, meaning he has some kind of electronic tracker on his body. ![]() Outside Underground Atlanta, the killers track him down and execute him as he protects Joe with his body. Roy follows him to a retro video game convention in Underground Atlanta, and shortly afterward realizes this is his first time surviving the day past 12:47 pm. Roy happens upon his son Joe (Rio Grillo), who doesn't yet know Roy is his father. We eventually learn the book refers to the Osiris Spindle - the device Jemma has developed for Colonel Ventor. He opens the package, revealing the book The Mythology of Iset and Osiris, though it takes him a couple of more kills for him to successfully read the book - due to trying to read the book at inopportune times. It takes until Roy's 141st attempt at surviving the day that he remembers the birthday present. We watch as a small army of eccentric hired killers take Roy out again and again, from the unwashed Smiley (Michael Tourek) who spears Roy through the chest with a harpoon and drags him around the city, to the sword-wielding Guan Yin (Selina Lo) who yells her name dramatically after each of her many kills. They only have 24 hours to plan three perfect murders. ![]() Roy's eyes open to a machete hacking into his headboard, a screaming dental hygienist running for her life, and not long after that a helicopter hovering outside his apartment and a guy with a minigun making like Neo in The Matrix. Three friends - a police officer from the traffic police Nika, a family man and a marketer Stas and a seller of children's toys Tyomich - decide to arrange a gift for themselves for the New Year: to deal with their bosses, who got them incredibly. In Boss Level, Roy Pulver relives the same day hundreds of times, and what he wakes up to is a bit more jarring than Sonny and Cher. It also has a sense of bloody and dark humor, and a colorful cast of killers you might expect to find at a serial killer convention or maybe just a Quentin Tarantino film festival. But the Hulu original Boss Level sets itself apart with a narration by Frank Grillo - who plays the time-looped special ops professional Roy Pulver - that almost comes off like a private eye from a Raymond Chandler noir flick. ![]()
