About
You’ll like Bruiser if you enjoy dark, identity-driven revenge with a noir-like edge and memorable weirdness; Not for you if you want a straightforward horror/slasher, or if you dislike the idea behind The Dentist or Puppet Master 4.
Pros: unique masked premise; some tense moments; old-school noir vibe | Cons: unlikeable characters; pacing issues; mask gimmick divisive
