Tedium, 2 August 2004
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

No one would ever call a movie Tedium, now would they? Who'd be interested? Guess why this is called Delirium, then. But tedium is the medium. We have a psycho on the loose that actually works for a group of vigilantes but the only reason he got work (he he) is that he's an old army buddy of these guys. Saw combat in Nam, you know. Anyway, we have two cops in St. Louis, detectives, actually, that are HOT on the trail of this guy. Hot on the trail? Well, they stand around the office in their plaid (and hideous combinations thereof) suits and drink coffee and make small talk and look like they haven't a care in the world. One cop (Turk Cekovsky?) looks like a cross between Peter Graves and Karl Malden, poor guy. His partner has the hots for the roommate of one of the victims, and spends more time taking her out to dinner than investigating the case. Now, on to the vigilantes: These guys all served together in Nam? I think not, some are pretty old for that. Anyway, the capper is the ringleader, who looks like a really p***ed off Truman Capote (as Lionel Twain, from Murder By Death) who at one point goes on a murderous rampage and looks absolutely ridiculous, even when he's wearing his army uniform as he flashes back to days gone by. Another film that is entertaining for all the wrong reasons, and apparently on a budget that didn't allow for much.
