Tony

It becomes problematic when you claim some sort of realism in your aesthetics yet your actors can't act and you don't know how to direct scenes to make them realistic. Also: If you want to do a film where nothing much happens, you need more interesting characters

Interesting, (Nilsen inspired) banality of evil tale. A good score and mostly well done direction. I may have got more out of this as I know the locations well but, really captures some of run-down Londons' loneliness and deprivation.

Didn't really have any expectations from it, so was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting more murder, but it was more of a character study. The lead is perfectly suited for the role, and is a real creepy, awkward weirdo. He's interesting to watch though as he goes about his week. It's like a 'kitchen sink' film about a serial killer.

Tony is a low-budget, low-key serial killer thriller/drama. The scariest thing about it is how easily imaginable it is that the slightly odd, unassuming guy in the council flat next door could have a sideline in corpse collecting and dismemberment.

An excellent, uncomfortable watch. Had a bit of trouble understanding some of the dialog due to thick British accents, however, so I turned on the subtitles (Amazon streaming) & they were less than helpful: "surely you are me watching Gary Busey and hunter in the hands you can film if you sing it/ in which you did". What was actually said: "I was watching Gary Busey 'Hider in the House'. It's a good film, have you seen it?" "Then what'd you do?"

Ends kind of abruptly. Could have used more murdering. I had no clue that you need a license to own a TV in England...what the hell???

A number of good sequences in this low-key serial killer drama that benefits from a very good original musical score. Seems to take the serial killer as a device to expose the disaffection and withdrawal of contemporary society, an idea that is nothing new but fairly effective in this case.
