Blue Ruin (2013)
8/10
A moral tale, a powerful film inaudibly told
8 May 2014
Warning: Spoilers
A loner and outsider gets alarmed when informed of someone's release from prison and sets out to find him. Following this, a series of killings take place but since the main character is not a professional hit man he seems to be getting into deeper and deeper trouble.

This is for the most part a moral tale. One is convicted for a committed crime and the family of the victim feels it appropriate to murder him upon his release based on a fear for reprisals. When you think you have a justifiable cause to kill another human being, a Pandora's box opens and you better be prepared for the consequences.

Edgy and intense it has confirmed my affection for independent cinema and despite some flaws in its storyline it has an air of originality attached to it.
