Small Town Hero

I didn't make it to the end as it's a very boring and repetitive film. There is still room for a mockumentary as This Country has proved, but you need far better writing and acting than this.

This is a good, gritty small budget British film. Excellent acting from all concerned. Lead actor Simon Cassidy is a name to watch. Highly recommended.

It's pathetic how all these reviews giving it 9's and 10's are from accounts that have literally never reviewed or rated any other film. What's that tell you?? Low budget garbage. Period.

The performances and plotting of this film straddle the line of reality and fiction so well that, at times, you could forget you're watching a fiction and be genuinely alarmed or scared for the characters! The stand out performance of the lead is not to downplay a solid supporting cast in a tight, well directed and cleverly edited mock-doc that builds tension in an inevitable but still dramatically satisfying way.

and it's funny, and sharp witted - which helps when it gets violent! would recommend!

I suspect few people have seen it, if they did they didn't bother writing any (positive) reviews. Anything under an eight could've been understandable if they like these level/kind of movies. But 10's and 9's, that's just beyond reality.

As for my review: The acting was ok, the camera work was decent enough. However the plot and characters just felt shallow, they were just to 2D, if they were fleshed out a bit more maybe viewers could relate or at least be invested in them. It's the kind of movie you might watch if there's nothing else on TV, but then again, you might want to just turn it off and read a book or something.
