Title: He was a quiet man
Post by: big ass skelly on April 04, 2008, 10:27:00 am

I was looking for something to watch the other night so I filtered some torrent site by movies and IMDB'd the results for something that sounded watchable.

I found he was a quiet man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0760311/) which apparently came out December last year but I hadn't heard of it.

But yeah I thought this film was pretty cool. It's about this nobody office worker Bob (Christian Slater ugly betty'd up) who hates every one of his coworkers and every day imagines blowing the building up while on his lunch break. He is a nutty fuck who feels emasculated in a modern civilised society. But anyway while at the office he routinely loads his handgun ready to go on an office rampage only to back out and get taunted by his goldfishes (really part of his FRACTURED PSYCHE or w/e) when he goes home for not being able to kill "those fucking assholes."

One day when he's running through his gun-loading routine (deciding which bullets are for whom, the sixth being himself) another office worker goes on a similar rampage, shooting everyone in the office apart from Bob who was the on the floor trying to pick up his dropped suicide bullet. He then becomes a town hero by shooting the killer after a little chat with him when they discover the woman the other guy shot by the water cooler is not the office bitch they thought she was but was the nice girl Vanessa who Bob has a soft spot for.


It has a decentish if a little predictable twist at the end too which is always nice am I right m night shyamalan


So who has seen this? if you haven't go get it, it's pretty good viewin

the way you found it is identical to how I found it... only I used RottenTomatoes and Metacritic. Yeah it was a good movie. good enough that it put me in the mood for the next couple of days for movie watching. Unfortunately, I didn't find muc at the time other then no country for old men, which was also great...

I saw it on some Bittorrent site a while ago and downloaded it 'cause Christian Slater's in it. Thought it was rather excellent until the underwhelming twist. I actually thought the twist was a tease or something for a really big super twist, but no. Still good though.

I heard of this film recently from a TV Spot but didn't know it had been released yet, I thought it was upcoming. Thanks for pointing this out.
