Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

dworldeater Tony is a great British indie horror flick in the same vein as Henry Portrait Of A Serial Killer. This film is similar in that this is also the day to day life of a serial killer. However, this film has much more black comedy and is not quite as dark or as hard hitting as its predecessor. This centers around Tony, an unemployed, extremely socially awkward and totally antisocial man who has an obsession with action movies and is desperate for any kind of social connection. This film is an interesting character study of the types of people that society shuns and ignores. This was handled fairly realistically and is at times really funny. There are nods to Taxi Driver here and there, but this film takes urban alienation and loneliness much further. There is nothing that glorifies or makes Tony look cool, actually quite the opposite as Tony is the lone creeper with a bad mustache that people go out of their way to avoid. It was a brave performance by actor Peter Ferinando and this film is very well done and effective as a whole. The film is very gritty and the underbelly of London is its backdrop. This is a glimpse into that world(and its inhabitants) from socially inept Tony's point of view. Even though the film does not have much to offer in gore, this is very disturbing and well made horror movie that is very interesting and holds up well after multiple viewings. Very original and effective film. Thumbs up.

Watcher66 Cher Tony is a bleak but brilliant film. It takes us through a week in the life of an East London jobless loner who spends most days watching 80s action films on an ancient video recorder and even older TV. Somewhat of a sociopath with very few social skills, he endeavours to strike up conversations with the sad and dispossessed he meets as he trudges the streets.Using a phone box one day, he meets two crack-heads and invites them back to his seedy flat. Once they're off their threepenny bits, he calmly asphyxiates one, chopping his body into pieces before dumping them in a canal. It's not a life-affirming film but it is riveting. It's hard to believe that Tony is director Gerard Johnson's debut feature film as he directs with a light but confident touch and an eye for the nuances of human existence.It's also something of a family affair: director Gerard Johnson is the brother of The The's Matt Johnson and Matt provides the haunting soundtrack (CD available at www.thethe.com). Gerard and Matt's dad Eddie plays a customer in a pub scene. Eddie was a pub landlord in east London.The DVD contains commentary from Peter Ferdinando who plays Tony and features Mug, a short film made by Gerard Johnson a few years before he made Tony. It also features a shorter earlier version of Tony again starring Peter Ferdinando and Lucy Flack who also appears in Mug.

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
