Small Town Hero

Really enjoyed this. There's a strong and unique performance from Simon Cassidy in the lead role as he walks a tightrope between rogue hero and aggressive vigilante. Much like the film itself, which has light comedic touches alongside tenser moments that lead to a dramatic finale.

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.

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.

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.

Thought provoking and entertaining. The main character is very believable as are the circumstances he finds himself in. Dark, tense but with laugh out loud moments. Would definitely recommend.
