Killing Mary Sue

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!

Writer, director, Editor James Sunshine has a carnival in his head and he's put it all into this fantastic movie. Centering around an unwitting yet apt female hero, this movie will make you laugh out loud and make you cover your eyes from the horror, all in the same 10 seconds. This movie is very well cast with the likes of Martin Cove, Dermot Mulrooney, and Katie Killiacky, supporting-the breakout performance of actress Sierra McCormick as Mary Sue. This film won best picture at the Los Angeles independent film festival just last month, and I predict we'll be seeing big things from this director in the future. Very well done!

Killing Mary Sue" is a fun, fast-paced movie that's perfect to watch with a group of friends. I saw it in a packed theater during the LA Film Festival and had an absolute blast-can't recommend it enough. The performances are strong across the board, and the writing and editing are sharp, keeping you on the edge of your seat with no dull moments.

If you're expecting a heavy-handed political message, this probably isn't the film for you. But if you're in the mood for something that pokes fun at everyone equally and leans into absurdity purely for entertainment's sake, Killing Mary Sue is right up your alley. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes more popular as word spreads.

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 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.
