Bruiser is a very good Thriller,it has some very funny moments & some weird moments!!! It's abit like American Psycho or reminded me of that film anyway as the main guy Jason Flemyng in an excellent performance as a bored frustrated business man who fantasizes about killing people & standing up for himself,these are people that piss him off or anger him & that is all ok & fun but what really stands out here is the end part the 3rd act at the big fancy dress Party that is all Awesome & fun, but TOM ATKINS is why i brought this film on dvd that is why i tracked it down lol as always TOM ATKINS the icon of cult movies & Horror is perfectly cast as a rugged tough cop (he was born to play that part) & once again like he always does tom steals the show & the film is so much BETTER just by having his presence in it other wise the movie would be still good But Atkins lifts it up & makes it a excellent instead of dull or routine so thank you again TOM ATKINS u tha man & Romero is a good director so Bruiser is actually a fun little Thriller it's very good just not great at first but it does grow on you if you watch it a few times like i did & now i TRULY see how excellent this movie is & how well made & relevant this movie is still today.
Also Bruiser has an old school crime Thriller feel to it & this is made clear with old jazz music in the score like an old Noir detective Thriller & with the added like i said brilliant Tom Atkins as the old school style detective who calls women dames!!! Very old style & very much like a pulp crime caper from the 40's it's actually alot of fun & has old school charm,nice to see a Romero film about something different like finding your identity & standing up for yourself & that's what makes Bruiser fun as it's so different & sometimes because of it's pulpy nature feels abit like a vigilante hero movie like The Shadow (1994)!!! Good weird pulpy fun that's really well directed by legendary Romero R. I. P An underrated underappreciated cult classic gem.
