Additional InformationA seemingly harmless kook turns out to be harbouring some rather nasty sociopathic tendencies in this independent thriller from first-time director Gerard Johnson. Tony (Peter Ferdinando) is a mild mannered, severely withdrawn man in his early 40s who has trouble relating to other people, doesn't communicate well with strangers, and can't hold on to a job. Tony relies on public assistance to pay for his tiny flat, and he spends his days wandering the streets while watching a steady stream of action movies at night. One evening, Tony invites a pair of ne'er-do-wells back to his apartment, and we soon learn his secret--beneath Tony's benign exterior is a man with a violent temper, and when his guests make him angry, he kills them in cold blood. This isn't the first time this has happened, and we follow Tony as he deals with the aftermath of his crime and prepares for his next outburst.

Movie/TV TitleTony
Consumer AdviceContains very strong language, strong violence and hard drug use
A very gruesome film. The character Tony is a socially awkward man ( I think hes autistic actually although that's never mentioned in the film), who finally snaps and is driven to murder. In a way you can empathise with the character and understand what's made him like he is. Hes a very unhappy, self loathing and lonely man, and is treated badly by other people despite his efforts to befriend them.
