Tony (2010)

Tony spends most of his time at home watching endless streams of old action movies. Whenever he becomes exposed to a social situation that requires interaction with other humans he has a tendency to panic and murder them. The film "Tony" by director Gerard Johnson takes you into the mind of an out place man who see's the world in a totally different way then you or I.

This movie sounded very interesting and I had been looking forward to sitting down and giving it a watch. Unfortunately this turned to an endurance test to see if I could make it through the entire film without waking up in a pool of my own drool. At first I thought maybe it was due to the thick accents and British slang that I did not recognized, In order to remedy this I turned on the sub titles and started the film over in hopes of better understanding what all the filler meant.

Once I could understand what was being said and what was going on I had to deal with the fact that I was simply watching a bad movie. The main character sounds interesting enough when you're reading the plot rundown but soon you realize he is just mind numbingly boring. The acting in this movie felt so lifeless and hollow that when mixed with a character of this type it created the ambient effect where it feels like you took a handful to see if you could stay awake while being hammered by the drowsiness it causes.

The kills where nothing special and most of the time also very boring and bland, this could of been the movies saving grace if they would of put more effort into them. I spent most of the movie trying to decide if I should just turn it off and move on to the next as most of the scenes felt like needless filler as if this started as a short and then was turned into a feature at the last minute. I do not recommend this one at all if you see its DVD case staring you in the face as interesting as it may sound it just isn't. I give "Tony" a 3 out of 10.
