Power tripping.......2007-01-09
This was an excellent film. The central performance by Tom McCamus is very tightly controlled and well-developed. Scenes between him and his father reveal a lot about the character in a very simple yet informative way. With its premise of a mild mannered man suddenly going on a violent power trip,I was expecting something more over-the-top and lurid,something closer to "Taxi Driver" or "God's Lonely Man",but MAN IN UNIFORM is actually under-played and, with the exception of a few scenes involving Kevin Tighe near the end, rather low-key. The character of Henry Adler at first seems like a typical well-behaved nonentity but Tom McCamus, aided by David Wellington's excellent screenplay and direction, invests him with an alientated sense of sadness that I found somewhat touching;I also liked how Henry's mental disintegration progressed.All in all, it makes for a very absorbing viewing experience.
Excellent and Disturbing.......2002-03-07
This is a thought-provoking and deeply disturbing film that examines the confrontation between weak minds and an uncaring world. Tom McCamus turns in a flawless performance as Henry Adler, the non-entity actor who wins a part in a cop show. At first, he draws strength from his macho cop character, but then - well, I won't say any more. See it for yourself - at least twice. This one is bizarre, but it's worth the trouble. Recommended.
Should have been better.......2001-06-10
The story seemed interesting to me which is why I picked up this DVD, but it fell short of my expectations. McCamus does a decent job in the lead role, but that's about it. The story is about an actor who plays a cop. He becomes so obsesses in his part that he starts acting out his role in the streets. The scenarios that he was put in were dull and the plot was undeveloped. Overall there was nothing new and nothing special.
An honest psycho-drama . . ........2001-04-26
Tired of watching dishonest suspense? A MAN IN UNIFORM will restore your faith in the fine art of mystery. It is an honest psycho-drama. Why is it that Canada is able to give us good movies in B packages? The script was excellent. The writers were faced with a problem of writing a script withing a script. They did a banging good job. The "cop" lead by Tom Mc Camus was played superbly. Five stars for Brigitte Bako's stupendous performance.
Highly recommended.......2000-06-30
Interesting plot, and very well acted for the most part. Somewhat lackluster production value, but I guess that's not too exceptional from an indie film. Anyone who liked Taxi Driver or Fargo should definately watch this film!
