Tagline: Revenge has no face.
Plot: Bruiser is the story of a man who has always tried to fit in. He keeps his mouth shut, follows the rules, does what he's supposed to do. But one morning, he wakes up to find ... ...his face is gone. All the years of acquiescence have cost him the one thing he can't replace. His identity. Now he's a blank, outside as well as in, an anonymous, featureless phantom. He explodes. Bent on revenge, he sets out to murder the people who have done him wrong. The wife who has been cheating on him for years. The best friend who has been robbing him blind. The boss who has treated him like dirt. The police pursue him, but he defies identification. Only one person gets close to him, a woman he has admired from afar. He hides his secret from her, taking comfort in her presence, but he knows that, at least for now, they can't be together. With each act of revenge, he forges a new identity for himself, reveling in the freedom that his anonymity bestows. But then... ...his face comes back. Leaner, stronger, tougher than before. It's the face of a man who has learned to stand up for himself, to follow his own

 If you're a George Romero fan than you should see this. If you aren't a Romero fan than you probably won't like it.  --Zaero (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
The plot wasn't too original, but it was good enough to keep the audience hooked. ... If you'd like to watch a man slowly go insane and murder people then check out this flick. 8/10-- (UHM)
Bruiser is an efficient, if not deep, statement on the facelessness of the average person in a world of billions. It works its argument in just the right way, giving us time to get a feel of who the characters are, then playing around with them.  --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
“Bruiser” isn’t a bad film. It’s decent, worth catching if you like Romero. But it’s not as good as “Dark Half.”-- (eSplatter.com)
