Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie is a wonderful example of those movies that start very well, promising, then after 10 minutes start to go nowhere and at the end are completely pointless. This "comedy" is not in the least funny. At the beginning, Mr. Slater does a fine job portraying the dull worker, really very convincing, but then his character becomes very repetitive, all the time showing the same facial expression, which makes you start to hate him. BTW, there is not a single character to sympathize with. The movie keeps making you believe the dull worker would finally take revenge for being constantly pushed around, but he never does it. On the contrary: the ending made me hate myself that I didn't stop watching this garbage in the middle (when I was fighting to stay awake). So what's the point? If everybody disdains and hates you, treats you like a cockroach, pushes you around, then you payback by killing yourself, so that they get the confirmation that they were right about you being a waste of space?

"He Was a Quiet Man" is a poor attempt at black comedy from director Frank Cappello. The film stars Christian Slater as a white-collar worker who fantasises about murdering his boss and co-workers.Whilst "Man" contains a relatively clever narrative structure, and two good, darkly comedic moments (one in which a paralysed woman sings at a karaoke bar, another in which Slater's murder spree is interrupted by another co-worker's murder spree), the film is ultimately amateurishly directed, thin and poorly written.5/10 – Worth one viewing. See "The Assassionation of Richard Nixon", Fassbiner's "The Third Generation", "Taxi Driver", Lindsay Anderson's "If" and "Office Space" instead.

I was tempted to give this an 8. I loved the film but the ending...I just didn't get it. Then I read some other reviews and agreed that it was a common plot device and therefore was okay. But that is incorrect as well. To not appreciate the ending is to have not understood the film. The "what really happened" summary (available on the main page) is very telling. This film is a lot cleverer than it appears and it is very clever whether you fully grasp it all or not. And very entertaining in a dark comedy way. And in a romantic drama kind of way. And in a violence kind of way.Christian Slater (who many of us want to hate) is just outstanding and so physically unattractive in this film that you can scarcely believe it is the same person; though clearly it is.I will say no more. Just don't miss this one. Pay attention to the details. Spread the word.

Somehow it seems that pshycotics like to wear the same style glasses and bad shirts and ties.The wardrobe dept did a great job as dressing Bob up as a freak and the music dept did a great job of the music track and theme.The story was funny, sad, dramatic and even scary at times and somehow it all seemed to fit in.What was really exceptional was the fish in the bowl and the little comments that it makes.The cast was good, the story was pretty cool and the filming was fantastic.It's amazing how then end leads from the beginning.
