An enjoyable caper from director Ken Simpson who manages to put together an entertaining ride on a modest budget, relying on witty dialogue and imaginative mise en scene to enthrall the viewer.
Craig manages to upset just about every element in his life because he simply doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, whether it's upsetting a co-worker, his girlfriend, or a man with a gun in his face, Craig finds a way to antagonize even the most antagonistic personality types by simply being himself. When an off-hand comment gets him fired from work, Craig finds himself at the behest of a new friend who challenges him to stop griping and enjoy his life, and immediately calls on him for a favor to spurn him on. Much to his chagrin, and going against his own self-indulgent principles, Craig finds he is in no position to refuse, and reluctantly takes on the request, setting off a cascade of ill-advised events that will have the audience laughing, cringing and guffawing throughout.
Written by Anthony Greene, who plays the main protagonist, and augmented by an absolutely brilliant performance from Leon Bearman, Headcase provides the clever complexities and intricate plot points of a seasoned production, which Simpson orchestrates to near-perfection aptly establish himself as an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with in the Toronto film scene.
