THE DEPUTY MOVIE REVIEW
When good men refuse to do nothing, the long arm of the law has the power to deputize the men who just need a chance but don’t test so well on exams and probably couldn’t pass the physical. In The Deputy, local town screw up Toby (Duke Nicholson) is awoken from his late afternoon nap by the call of destiny. More literally speaking, a telephone call from the Sheriff (William H. Macy) who says get on down here, someone’s been shot. Toby is tasked to watch the crime scene with a couple of bullet casings and a dead body. Being a man of big dreams and limited focus, Toby decides to wander off a bit and upon his return, the body is gone. It’s up to Toby and his knowledge of the town he grew up in to solve the murder and find that body as well as his dignity and self respect. Sheriff Bradly of the town of One Of Us deputizes Lewayne in the investigation of this small neo-noir western ensemble. Is it another hidden gem dropping right before award season or a digital dump that will leave critics cold in July… err in September.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
