LeonLouisRicci There are Two Underdogs Connected to this Brit-Indie, the Title Character and the Writer Director. Gerard Johnson made this Ultra-Low-Budget Movie for about as much as a Six Pack and a Bag of Pretzels Using a Cinema Verite Style that most Probably came from the Inherent Lack of Funds Available.It Served Him Well as this is about as Gritty and Down to Earth as Filmmaking Gets. It is Minimalism Materialized. The Movie has a Washed Out Look from Novices having a Go at the Most Obvious of Cinema Low Lifes: The Serial Killer.The Acting is Above Par for this Get Together of Film Geeks with an Outstanding Lead Performance that Crosses a Neo-Nazi and a Nerd. The Only Time that Character Tony Manages any Equilibrium is when He is Doing the Deed. There He is in Full Control and Manages the Kill and the Clean Up with a Precision that He might Consider Honing into a Productive and Useful Profession. But He is Obviously too Far Gone.This is one of those Disturbing Films Void of Frills and in its Docu Style it can do Nothing but be Unsettling and Unnerving. For that it Succeeds and Fans of Street Cinema, those Movies made with Nothing More than the Enthusiasm and Energy of a Film School Project and a Will to Draw Attention to Itself with Little Help from Anyone not Involved in the Production. Overall Worth a Watch for those Willing to Suspend Depth and Details for Visceral Visions from Aspiring Newcomers with Talent in Desperate Need of some Support.

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

jason_duron In Tony, the title character (played very convincingly by Peter Ferdinando) is a soft-spoken, middle-aged nerd who enjoys old action movies. He's severely withdrawn from the world, unable to speak or relate to others, and has never worked a job in his life. One other important fact about Tony is his penchant for murder. In fact, Tony murders on a regular basis, whether it's druggies, men he picks up at gay bars, etc. At a mere 75 minutes, Tony never strives to be complex or hard to follow, but instead a simple portrayal of a simple killer who inability to connect with the world causes him to outburst so easily on those who confuse or anger him. When a young boy goes missing in town, the father immediately assumes it's Tony's doing and we watch as everything in Tony's life comes dangerously close to unfolding. Like I said, the film is simple yet sophisticated enough to be enjoyed mostly by the smarter movie watcher. Those looking for quick release won't get it here at all, despite the film's overly short runtime. A lot have compared it to the English answer to American classic Henry; Portrait of a Serial Killer and I couldn't agree more. It's dark, gritty, and covered in gloom, yet you somehow feel for this monstrous character. Overall, Tony is an excellent watch, one of the better "horror" films I've seen this year. Good film.

This movie has creepiness written all over it, the lead actors portrayal of the fictional TONY was marvelous and brilliant. It creeped me out. Even the sub actors were great, the story was fascinating as it was particularly a piece in the KILLERS life. You may be boggled as to is there an ending? Remember this is just a part in a persons life and to have it that way makes it interesting and complete. Very detailed!If you like our stuff please bookmark us at http://themystified.com
