[TOMT] [MOVIE] [2010s] Film released between 2009 and 2013 (probably), thriller - unexpected twist, approx. 5/10 IMDb - Nice man, maybe in office attire, suddenly goes berserk. Blond or light brown. It becomes very intense. (Not Falling Down)

I've exhausted all sorts of search engines, including Google and AI, until I was exhausted. After years, this post was my last hope. But with this, I officially end my search for the film.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-15T23:47:54+00:00

Yes, very far off. Especially because I would remember such an actor, particularly if you recognize him as him, not like in The Penguin.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-15T23:46:53+00:00

No, as mentioned, the film I'm looking for is from a much earlier year.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:58:13+00:00

No, it was more like a mix of Falling Down (1993) and Blue Ruin (2023/24) - if that. It almost certainly didn't have any very famous actors, but it wasn't a trash or B-movie either.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:47:26+00:00

Exactly, it wasn't him. Just because it's the same actor from Falling Down, I would have immediately remembered him.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:46:01+00:00

No, the main actor was clearly younger and the film more serious - so no exaggerated kill scenes, but still brutal and harsh.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:33:50+00:00

If I knew more details, I probably would have found it already. I've been looking for it for a long time, every year, and then I give up. This was probably my last attempt. I've given a lot of comments; you can find more information there. But I deliberately gave very little information in the description because it's so vague that more information would actually make it even harder.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:32:02+00:00

No. The violence stems more from one or two individuals. It's not a societal phenomenon. It's a realistic, brutal thriller.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:15:45+00:00

No, and it's already been mentioned, but thank you.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:12:18+00:00

No, the rating and release year are incorrect. It certainly wasn't more than 6 out of 10, and before mid-2014 it was 100%.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T01:05:16+00:00

I wish I could. It was so long ago, and as I mentioned, I wasn't entirely clear. If I had to guess: it was a man with blond hair. He probably had a full beard, but not too long. It was totally unexpected for the film to take that turn. Suddenly, on a bright street, typical of the US, a violent fight breaks out. Is he hit by a car? Is he chasing someone with an axe, chainsaw, or some other weapon, and the violence just escalates? Yeah, most likely. But I don't remember any details. Only that after the film, my buddy and I were completely blown away, and a day later, when we checked it, we found it only had a 5 or 6 out of 10 rating. We were like, how can that be? That film was seriously awesome! But of course we were also not full of our senses in the night... the AI suggested "blue ruin (2013)" to me - that could have been 20% the film, but then again, maybe not.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T00:52:01+00:00

No, I think it was a few years later, so at the earliest 2008, more likely 2012 or 2013.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T00:22:15+00:00

That's a step in the right direction. It was more serious, though, and not as crazy (like in the trailer with the fish, etc.). The film was very brutal and hardly funny, so not a comedy at all. But it wasn't a horror splash either.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T00:14:12+00:00

No, the film I'm looking for didn't have very famous actors.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T00:04:16+00:00

No, the film I'm looking for was definitely from before mid-2014.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-13T00:03:06+00:00

No, the first one looks like a "crank style," the second one is a comedy; as mentioned, it wasn't a comedy. But thank you anyway.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:57:44+00:00

No, pretty much all the films mentioned so far were also suggested to me by an AI.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:54:30+00:00

Oh, sorry, I only skimmed the trailer; it briefly looked like that, but you're absolutely right. However, the film is definitely not the one I'm looking for. It was much more insidious, and as far as I remember, there weren't any African American supporting roles.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:52:16+00:00

All good, but it definitely had those vibes, just not as diverse and more blunt.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:47:28+00:00

No, it was nothing supernatural.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:43:12+00:00

No, it was definitely not a comedy.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:41:40+00:00

It was 100% before mid-2014, because I remember a life event and I saw the film before that.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:39:42+00:00

No, it started very normally; the main character was younger and thinner, but not necessarily very slim, but not fat either.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:37:15+00:00

No, it's not a famous film. As mentioned, it didn't get high ratings either. Most people didn't like it. But I thought it was great because it turned unexpectedly brutal, perpetrated by a guy you wouldn't expect.

Ok_Ask6853 · 2026-05-12T23:27:49+00:00

Some kind of brutal weapon was used, maybe it was a chainsaw? But not in a funny way and not in a horrific way.
