Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

huntercym This movie has quickly made it to my top 10 list. It is a dark comedy that is surprisingly touching. Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan) is a man recently released from the "looney bin" and is now trying to adjust to life on the outside while those around him, that have wronged him in his past, start to mysteriously die.Barry Bostwick is just delightful, he steals ever scene he is in as Sheriff Fuller. Kevin Corrigan and Karen Black also play their respective roles extremely well. Black will make you appreciate your own mother.This movie will offer many laughs and still satisfy your need to see people killed.

chinchew5 I'm sorry but I've had enough of people who review films on here 6.2 for this film is a total injustice for what is a original script highlights important social issues and for me is a great mixture of comedy and spectacle.i don't even want to say anything about the film because if i do i would spoil it but all i can say is DO WATCH IT and get taken on a whimsical ride of love friendship and guilt with real blood splattering moments real belly laugh moments and an ending that will have you in tears not many films mix genres together good but this one does for me its a must see

anythinghorrorscott I love this title: Simple, descriptive, and effective. The movie is indeed about a guy who goes around killing people. But wow there's so much more going on. SOME GUY is written by Ryan A. Levin and is inspired by Levin's 14 minute short film, THE FIFTH. The writing is every bit as clever as it was in the short and it's nice to see that Levin could make that leap from a short to a full length feature so effortlessly. But what director Jack Perez (yes, the same 'Jack Perez' who directed MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS) smartly does is cast some terrific actors that do great jobs in making this story successful. SOME GUY is a horror-comedy and the best one I've seen since TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL.As the film opens we join Ken as he bolts awake from a recurring nightmare. in which he's tied to a chair with tape over his mouth being tormented by a group of guys. Ken arrives late to work (again) where his boss is angry (again) and his buddy Irv is there to cover for him (again). Ken has just recently been released from the local nut farm where he spent a few years after trying to kill himself. But it seems the prolonged stay in the loony bin did Ken some good. He's calm, stoic, introverted, and intelligent. He's constructed a thick shell around himself and doesn't let anyone in -- not even those closest to him like Irv and his nightmarish passive-aggressive mom Ruth.Ken has a crappy job at the local ice cream shop where he must dress up like a giant ice cream cone and work catering jobs and pass out fliers on the street. One day in a random, chance encounter Ken bumps into a girl on the street who he later discovers is his eleven year old daughter, Amy. But Ken wants to make a change in his life and he really wants to make an effort connecting with his daughter. Ken seems to be on a roll and shortly after "meeting" his daughter meets Stephanie at one of the catering jobs he's working. Amy hasn't been getting along with her mom lately so she decides to pack up and move in with her dad ... on a whim ... without letting Ken know about it. Now Ken's world is turned upside down as he tries to adjust to having an eleven year old daughter living in his house who he knows nothing about. But Ken also has an active night life killing those people from his past he believes ruined his life. Is it the same people who haunts his dreams? Did they indeed ruin his life or has Ken constructed this fantasy world in order to blame someone for his crappy life?SOME GUY is a hugely fun flick. The dialog is quick and witty and cleverly hilarious. Writer Levin doesn't construct silly situations to create funny moments. All the comedy is completely organic in the film. SOME GUY takes place in a small town and the sheriff, Sheriff Fuller and his deputy Ernie are brilliantly written and provide some of the biggest laughs in the film. They aren't, though, bumbling small-time cops who resort to slapstick and low-brow humor. Their characters are aware that there's a serial killer in their small town and that they're extremely ill-equipped to deal with such a crime. They try so hard to figure out what's going on but they mostly come up empty handed until Sheriff Fuller stumbles upon some important evidence. Fuller and Ernie are extremely well- written characters and Barry Bostwick pretty much steals the show here with his deadpan delivery. Beyond Bostwick, the entire cast does a great job here and Kevin Corrigan (Ken) plays his role beautifully. Corrigan is perfect playing a guy who's not just beaten down by life and unhappy with the direction his life has taken, but he also expertly plays a man who doesn't really fit in anywhere ... especially in his own skin. Corrigan is simply brilliant in this role. Levin also manages to do something I never thought would be possible: Levin has written a horror-drama-comedy. What's a "horror-drama-comedy," you ask? Well the horror aspect of SOME GUY is pretty obvious. A serial killer is stalking and killing in extremely graphic and bloody ways various men in town. But the 'drama-comedy' part of this film is interesting. Levin has written a heart-warming story of a psychologically damaged man who's life hasn't really turned out as he expected and who's constructed a wall around himself in order to further shield himself against the outside world. But in a world he can no longer connect with, he discovers there's one final connection that he just can't abandon -- his eleven year old daughter. So we watch as these two slowly bond and connect amidst his nightly killing sprees. I know; it sounds bizarre and a very unlikely combination, but it works. Director Perez keeps everything moving along and he really surprised me here. For the last couple of years Perez has been a director of films for The Asylum. Yeah; I know. But this guy's got some great directing chops and knows how to make a great film, and SOME GUY proves that.The final act feels as though it drags in some places, but it soon became apparent that Levin and Perez have something up their sleeves. They throw in a twist that I didn't see coming ... and it works. The ending gets a little dark and 'heavy' (which was a nice touch), but the ending is completely satisfying.I really loved SOME GUY. The writing and acting are spot on and it has great energy. This is the way a great horror-comedy (sorry ... horror-drama-comedy) should be!!

sepial Here's what taking characters seriously, especially in comedic treatment, will do for you when blending with imagination and good acting. The mentally unstable lead character is conceived and played, for once, free of cliché, but in every detail realistic, nuanced and fittingly understated. Which is always refreshing amidst the sea of 'funny' films where humour is killed with an overdose of silliness. biggest points for this one are balance and character emphasis, and a fluent, smart script. Karen Black's cynical one-liner mom, the likable, laconic sheriff are memorable, next to Kevin Corrigan's lead it is for me Ariel Gade who dominates the film acting-wise - she's not merely a child-actress but clearly a fully grown (in the sense of the word) professional. The father-daughter relationship and Ken's attempts for normality weigh heavier than the revenge-killing plot, for which I'm grateful as well. Excellent achievement.
