Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

ultrasween Tony, written by the director and based on his 2005 short film, is a great example of the disease that "lets the bad guys win", which is plaguing independent films nowadays. In this vain attempt to be edgy, the film follows around socially-inept Tony as he encounters nothing but hostility and gives back nihlistic hate and misdirected retribution. His encounters are far too convenient, although, one would expect someone like Tony to focus solely on moments like these. Tied with the filmmakers' apparent laziness in thinking-through the central character, the film shows an incredibly unrealistic approach to victim struggles. On a similar note, the film claims to be "social realism" yet there is not a shred of human truth in any facet of this film. Furthermore, Tony is peppered with far too many red herrings, which throw the viewer around; leading us in one giant loop of illogic. Shameless-ly (pun on Exec. Producer Paul Abbott intended) exploitative, it provides no answers to so many questions that should have been passing thoughts on the road to a more crafted story. What ever happened to the bad guy going up in a ball of White Heat(1949) making us feel at least a shred of sympathy for them? S

trashgang A close friend of mine had seen this flick and told me he didn't like it because nothing really happens except a few murders that aren't that vicious after all. Finally it got released over here so I was able to watch it. Plugging it into the DVD player the opening credits said enough for me. This wasn't going to be a fast flick, the opening credits looked like those old seventies horrors. But it was labelled that it could be compared with Henry Portrait Of A Serial Killer (1986).For me it started well but it slowed down after the first killing. I could follow Tony and I can think that the director was putting more towards the story than only a serial killer. If I look to the end credits you see that Tony just walks away with his murder spree due being living in a big city were nobody cares about anybody and nobody knows his neighbours any more nowadays. The acting was rather okay especially Tony looked believable also due the clothes he was wearing and his bad teeth. The directing by Gerard Johnson was okay but there was a bit too much talking going on for me. There weren't really any effects used and it surely had a low budget look. But the brutality of Henry is missing. The creepy part of the TV being smashed on ones head for example in Henry is a thing that we doesn't have here. The killings are rather dull here in Tony. But people do talk about Tony and specialised UK mags did wrote reviews about it but for me it was missing something.The DVD included two shorts were the short Tony is one to see. In fact it's just the same story as in the full feature, only the full feature goes further with the story of course. It's so recognisable the situation going on but for a geek like me it could have gone a bit further.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Tony is a look at a serial killer and their everyday life. Tony is awkward, very awkward, and this leads to him being ignored or mistreated by the majority of people. Tony manages to gather sympathy throughout the film as he just so happens to encounter a lot of scummy, horrible people. These people generate no sympathy for themselves, but not in a bad way. The film seems to suggest that we should all just be decent human beings. There's no harm in saying "hello" or having rational discussions. It's the hate and negativity aimed at Tony that fuels his actions. Peter Ferdinando gives a brilliant performance and carries Tony, realistically, through a wide range of scenarios, from unprovoked arguments, to awkward job interviews. A little, but well executed film.

pjburnie Contains one of the funniest lines ever.Cop:Where were you on Tuesday night? Tony: I was watching Gary Busey in "Hider in the House".!!! GENIUS Tony wanders round the streets of London trying to make friends or at least spark up conversations with those around him.At night he watches his impressive collection of late 80s to mid 90s action movies. Inbetween this he's either killing those who sleight him or cutting up the bodies of previous victims. Bizzarly half the time Tony comes across as a sorryfull character and you do feel for him, especially during the job centre / job interview scenes.If you liked "dead mans shoes" you'll like this
