Tony
2009 · Movie · NR · 76 min · ★ 5.9 · 71% critics
A withdrawn, unemployed loner drifts through a bleak city life, struggling with isolation, social discomfort, and an unhealthy fixation on old action tapes. Framed as a quiet character study more than a conventional thriller, the story follows his mundane routines as sudden violence breaks through.
