Commuter chainsaw massacre Buddy, you're crazy!
- I'm not crazy, I'm just very angry!
Buddy Hutchins is a pretty good guy and family man with problems with alcohol, whose life begins to spiral downwards - at work problems; he is up to his ears in debt and can not pay them off; his wife goes to his lover and takes his beloved daughter with him; his son hates him; his mother slowly dies. But when a very unpleasant truth about his family is revealed, it finally brings the main character out of himself, as a result of which he takes a chainsaw and decides to punish all those responsible for his troubles.
This film is a completely primitive and template story about a man who is tired of everything and he goes into all seriousness, destroying everything in his path. In principle, even such a worn-out story can be perfectly told and presented, but the director and screenwriter Jared Cohn, whose filmography consists entirely of disgusting crafts for the studio Asylum Global, everything failed miserably, shooting an extremely stupid, boring and talentless movie. The first half of the film tries to cause us pity and sympathy for the main character by showing that the whole world is against him, but this does not cause any emotions, since everything is very predictable and every next turn can be predicted almost immediately, that, together with the terrible acting and completely simple dialogues, it causes only the desire to quickly rewind the film forward; to overcome the first 50 minutes of the film is extremely difficult, there is almost no action, GG only goes to three and a half locations on which the entire film will take place, and Jamie Kennedy, once an actor, who is so sad and tries to play with her career, and says that she is so sad for a long time. But then there is a “powerful” script twist, when Buddy learns a “terrible” secret about his father, and learns in a completely ridiculous and sucked out of the finger image, which indicates the incredible laziness of the writer or just his meager imagination (although here it is likely that both options are appropriate), Hutchins falls into berserker mode, brutally makes a muzzle brick, takes booze and begins to wet everyone, and no one tries to resist him (even the police and men who are twice as healthy as they wait for him to bershawed and twisted). Here we kind of have to start the slaughter, but instead we see how ridiculously flies a rubber hand with the head, and people spray the walls with tomato juice, and even for the amateur level it looks bad, for example in the film “Found” of 2012 gore-effects were a few goals above these, and this despite the fact that there was a budget of $ 8K, and here stated a million plus! Well, there will be a ridiculous hand-to-hand fight, which is better not to remember. And now our Buddy is walking around the city, from the offender to the offender, in broad daylight and at the same time covered with blood, although no one is embarrassed, and the friend who met him only asks with surprise, “Dude, are you covered in blood, did you cut yourself?” and treat the poor man with a beer and a cigarette. Meanwhile, the cops, one of whom heard the screams of the victim, but decided to ignore it, scratch their heads where he can be, and the ending finally convinces the viewer that they are clinical idiots, as well as the creator of this film, because such a ridiculous end a reasonable person would hardly have invented. The camera work is very squalid and clumsy, in addition to filming everything on a cheap camera; the editing is sometimes odd, chronologically arranging the scenes so that it seems that a piece was cut out of the film; some scenes are not explained (how and with what GG was able to grab and tie up his wife when the cops were constantly around her house? However, I have already written about the “savvy” of the cops above; I did not notice the soundtrack at all, although some metalcore began to play during the “action”, and it was completely out of place and the scene began to look even more ridiculous.
“Buddy Hutchins” is a completely low-grade, idiotic, horribly primitive and out of hand a poorly shot under-thriller. It is better to watch/rewatch Schumacher’s “I’ve had enough” or Uwe Ball’s misanthropic action films like “Fury” than to waste your time. I advise everyone to stay away from this movie as much as possible.
