Review of Some Guy Who Kills People (2011) by Katharine A — 23 Jun 2012

From beginning to end you feel very sorry for Ken Boyd. He has only a small support system to begin with, and his boss continually humiliates him with complete disregard for who might be overhearing. From forcing him to dress up as a mascot at one of his former tormentor's birthday celebrations to wearing the same costume on the pavement out front in order to pass out flyers.

That would be an exercise in restraint for any human being to endure, let alone a man with Kenny's questionable stability. The few who truly seem to understand him choose to bypass the warning signs, leading to a gory caper of hilarious proportions.

Sheriff Walt Fuller (Barry Bostwick) and Ernie (Eric Price) make a hilarious comedic team as the law enforcement in this Mayberry-esque town (Since their reinforcements consist of two additional men who can barely read police caution tape).

As is typical in small towns, nobody seems to notice or care. Which allows our anti-hero, I'd have to call him, to get away with it for so long. When Kenny's daughter, Amy, comes round wanting to get to know him, nobody is more excited by this than his mother.

It's almost as if the universe is giving her a second chance to correct any mistakes she made the first time around. Rather than give you a complete play-by-play, I should stop here. Though before I do, I should point out that I've rarely seen an actor have as much fun playing a character as I noticed Barry Bostwick did playing the sheriff.

Not only did he have some of the most memorable lines, but he just lit up every scene he was in. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciated quality work. Not every film has to be a blockbuster to be well worth the wait.
