    • Trivia
      Frank Grillo's actual son Rio Grillo plays his son Joe in the movie.
    • Goofs
      When Roy extracts the tracker from his tooth and shows it to Dave, the tracking device has an LED that's flashing. While it is understandable that this might be done to make this plot device clearer to see for the viewers, it is very silly to have a blinking light on an implantable tracker. The light would serve no use, and LED lights consume an awful lot of energy.

      Guan Yin: I am Guan Yin, and Guan Yin has done this.

    • Alternate versions
      In the US version of the movie released on Hulu, the film ends with Roy waking up and about to restart the day for the final time. In the international version available on Prime Video, the film ends after Roy enters the spindle.

    Stick with it - it's worth it
    There are more levels of meaning to this film than may be obvious. With the number of highbrow story elements compressed into 100 mins (causality loops, DNA coded missing mass, Egyptian mythology and catastrophism) it would have been very easy to overwhelm and confuse the audience with too many ideas - but Boss Level doesn't. The story is well told, very well paced and seems to make a point of intentionally evolving from chaotic and complex to calm and clear. Clive Ventor's plan is horrific but logical and it's eventually revealed that Roy Pulver really only ever had one job from the start. When he devises his final, final, final, FINAL plan, despite everything that's happened, it makes perfect sense and also provides a valuable message about not giving up - even when you know the situation is completely hopeless. What could have been just a nihilistic Groundhog Day shoot 'em up turns out to be something far more intelligent and emotionally engaging. Good ending too.
