The first half hour is pure awesomeness.
There's a great introduction. Family killed so it's a revenge-story? Okay, fine. Training-segment? Cool. A hilarious narrated voice that sounds like Butthead from 'Beavis and Butthead'? That's original. An over-the-top standout performance from Sharlto Copley, who is always great, but has a much to small part? Okay, fair enough.
But then....
....it gets sooooo repetitive. The rest of the movie is just one long fightscene after another where 'Boy' tries to be John Wick on speed aiming for a higher killcount. They added a twist in there, to compensate for the lack of plot development, so I wasn't completely bored, but no.... ' Boy Kills World' - for me - ended up as yet another forgettable style over substance entry.
