7/10
A very satisfying performance ruined by a silly ending
29 December 2012
I like Kevin Corrigan. He has played in over 100 movies and TV shows and I instantly recognize his face as he has that weird, yet cool look. As the protagonist of this here film, he is perfect, with just the right amount of creepy and nice to not know where the coin is going to drop. His daughter is also well interpreted by Ariel Gade, even if she has that annoying role of the teenager who, based on her experience, thinks she can get away with anything. You then understand my frustration with the ending, which introduces a ridiculous twist and turns the entire premise to crap.

Just having watched God Bless America and Hobo with a Shotgun, I thought a movie entitled Some Guy Who Kills People is the natural continuation. If you thought the same, let me dispel that thought. The movie is nothing like that. Instead deals with feelings of alienation, friendship, guilt and some pretty weird, but ultimately decent people.

To sum it up, this is a good movie. Some people might even like the ending. I obviously didn't and I think it ruined the entire film, but one can still dream around it, even so. The performance of the actors is very good, the atmosphere is nice, the little town feel is strong and irritating, which empowers the plot. It is worth viewing.
