Killing Mary Sue

I had the opportunity to watch this movie with an audience and people were laughing and having a good time, it's not a serious movie it's silly and absurd and just entertaining great great performances from all the actors, lots and lots of fun. This film is unique nothing like anything I've seen before from start to finish keeps you interested it's the kind of movie you can watch more than once... happily. The main character who plays Mary Sue Sierra McCormick does a great job as does Martin Kove and Dermont Mulroney and Jake Busey all phenomenal performances and all the actors and actresses whose names you don't know did great jobs as well thoroughly enjoyed and was entertained from start to finish.

This is pure fun. I've worked with Mr. Sunshine before and I love his deliberate uncomprimising sense of humor. I'm a huge Dermot Mulroney fan and where else are you going to see Dermot, Jake Busey and Martin Cove in the same film? Sierra McCormick plays Mary Sue and makes her believable - which is no easy task in this delightfully nutball romp. She kills the action scenes -- reminiscent of Kick Ass but with her (and Sunshine's) unique vibe. This is an action movie with most of the action shot in camera and therefore has that wonderful tender loving care feel of the movies I love. See this film and enjoy!

I had the opportunity to see the movie at the Big Apple Film Festival in a completely packed theatre in May. The film received an incredible reaction from the crowd, myself included. It was fun and funny - the film seemingly does not take itself seriously one bit but then sneaks up on you with an unexpected sentimentality. Lead actress Sierra McCormick gives a 10/10 performance. I also loved the soundtrack, including music from band Can't Tell You, which suits the plot and the opening scene exceedingly well for those who take the time to listen to the music and lyrics. I'm super excited to watch again now that it's available to stream!

This movie won Best Picture, best director, and best actor at the LA Independent Filmmakers Showcase and with good reason. It has a unique blend of dark humor, irreverent twists, and bloody action. Killing Mary Sue is low budget but doesn't take itself so seriously which totally works. The action is satisfying and quick editing keeps you entertained. The movie delivers on its unique concept which our main character is a mary-sue trope turned on its head, and great performances especially Sierra McCormick. Dermot Mulroney and Jake Busey together are a great combo and the whole host of oddball hitmen trying to take down Mary sue are a lot of fun to watch.

What a wild ride! Lol! This movie was creative storytelling + fantastic acting + great niche references ("Stop sweeping my leg!") + dark humor + a couple of hilarious punny names.

Bravo to all involved, in particular Sierra McCormick who killed it (literally and figuratively), Dermot Mulroney who captured the annoyed and aggrieved politician so poetically in this era, and James Sunshine, writer / editor / director. Although the tone of the film does not match his name, it was certainly a BRIGHT and well executed story!!

There is quite a bit of violence (as the name might suggest! Haha!), but my distaste for that is on me, not the film! The humor FAR outweighed the body count! Well done!!!
