Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bruiser is an ok Thriller, not too bad has some funny moments & some weird moments!!! It's abit like American Psycho or reminded me of that film anyway as the main guy a bored frustrated business man fantasies about killing 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 lol) & once again like he always does tom steals the show & the film us so much BETTER just by having his presence in it other wise the movie would be boring!!! But Atkins lifts it up & makes it a good Thriller instead of dull & boring so thank you again TOM ATKINS u tha man

I thought Bruiser was going to be about a normal guy who loses the plot and goes mental with revenge.But instead we have terrible acting from Jason Felmyng. A lot of it reminded me of a theatrical.As others have said, it lacks punch, direction and interest.It is very badly acted, and reminded me a C-movie you would see early into the hours of the morning had you been unable to sleep that night.The idea for the mask was just ridiculous. And it looked ridiculous. The way the guy planned his murders was just pathetic. A guy who was intent on a murder rampage would just do it all in one day or night, but instead our main character gives a little speech before each murder.What a bore this movie was. Do not waste your time on it.

WOW This was an excellent movie.First off, let me say that this was not an easy movie to find. I could not find a copy at any video store or library anywhere near here. Finally, after searching for months, I got digital cable the there it was. I immediately went and watched it and I must say, I was VERY impressed by what I saw.This has to be one of the most underrated films EVER. I looked and saw it only had a 5.0 on IMDb (as of 4/18/08). It should have At least a 7! Romero has created his best horror movie classic since Day of the Dead. Jason Flemyng played Henry Creedlow better than anyone else could have possibly done. Peter Stormare was disgusting as Milo Styles, which is what was intended! Leslie Hope was excellent as Rosemary Newley, Milo's unhappy wife. Nina Garbiras was great as the abusive, dishonest, annoying Janine Creedlow. Andrew Tarbet was perfect to play Jim Larson, Henry's thieving friend. And Ol' Tom Atkins was great as Detective McCleary.Along with an excellent cast there was a very morbid tone throughout the movie which really set the mood in a lot of scenes. Also, the music was very well placed, and even about 4 songs played LIVE by The Misfits (one of my favorite bands).The errors in this movie were quite numerous, particularly those dealing with plot holes. Many things went unexplained in the movie. But...I don't care.This is easily one of my favorite movies. I cannot wait to watch it again! I give Bruiser a 10/10. Romero fans should not miss this one!

Aside from this being another well written and well directed film by Mr. Romero, having Tom Atkins (Night of the Creeps, Halloween 3) and The Misfits (The Michale Graves Era Misfits) makes this movie so much more cooler. The story follows the main character who even as a adult is still greatly picked on and belittled. He wakes up one morning without a face and decides to go after those who have wronged him. Call it a revenge film if you want, I call it fun.If you watch the DVD of Bruiser, be sure to watch the music video Romero directed for The Misfits. All the Misfits are zombies and are attacking a hospital. Very cool.
