The Toxic Avenger Review: Peter Dinklage Is the Perfect Toxie

In a cinematic world where caped crusaders and shield-wielding superheroes reign supreme, there's the welcomed return of Toxie via writer and director Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger. The subversive superhero tale celebrated its world premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, and Collider’s Perri Nemiroff and John Aljets were there to experience the ooze of Gooze – Winston Gooze, that is, played by Peter Dinklage. Blair’s film opened the genre fest with a goopy and bloody bang. You can check out John and Perri’s early reaction in the video above.

The Toxic Avenger is a reboot of the 1984 Troma cult classic. Blair's version stars Dinklage as Winston Gooze, a janitor who can't get a fair shake and is busy mopping up rock bottom. To make matters worse, Winston is diagnosed with a fatal condition, and unless he can find the means to pay for treatment, he’ll no longer be able to support his stepson, Wade, played by Jacob Tremblay (Room). In a string of misadventures, Winston topples into a vat of toxic waste and emerges completely transformed with superhuman strength, touting a glowing green mop. He is the Toxic Avenger, and he may be the only one able to stop the greedy, self-centered Bob Garbinger (Kevin Bacon) from expanding his powers of pollution.
