Interesting and mysterious at first, but then slow moving towards a disappointing climax. Hail to Macon Blair's acting, though.

Dwight (Macon Blair) lives in a blue rust bucket vehicle as an unkempt homeless person, living out of dumpsters, petty thievery, and an occasional home break-in. He is our antagonist protagonist in a different sort of crime drama. It seems Dwight's has not been able to move on after Wade Cleland shot and killed his parents.Upon finding out that Wade has been released from prison, this sets off an odd family feud with a minor twist of past events.Macon Blair played an interesting, yet unexciting Dwight. The story line is different from the typical formula which is what makes the film interesting. However, there were numerous boring scenes like Dwight being informed, eating a sandwich with his sister, or walking along the beach. How about a flashback scene to make Dwight's current life seem realistic?Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

I normally use IMDb reviews as a gauge to decide whether it's worth watching a movie as the audience is usually more honest than the TV listings guide. Sadly not on this occasion and I'm baffled by the IMDb score.It's one of those movies where people repeatedly do stupid things that make their situation worse but winds you up.Early on the main character does something stupid and badly cuts his hand and having dropped the keys to his own car steals another. Then, when the bad guys attack the house he's gone to, he tries to drive off in..... the car he had to abandon because he lost his keys! How did he get it back? And to boot, his hand seems to have miraculously healed.Fearing that this movie would continue to wind me up until my head exploded I decided to stop it there and then. Pain over.

It's hard to breakdown what I loved about this movie in just 1,000 words, but let me just start off by saying that this is one of the most refreshing thrillers I've seen in quite some time.The first thing that makes it great, among a number of superb qualities, is that the film never holds your hand. There's never any lame exposition, as all the answers are laid out visually for the audience.In fact, the characters in this film, despite very strong performances from all involved, have very little dialogue. Macon Blair, the lead, is particularly good, often expressing exactly what he is feeling just through his facial expressions. The direction and cinematography in this film is masterful. There were so many beautiful, lingering shots that I truly lost count of the number of times I thought "Wow, that is gorgeous". Plot-wise, the film is simple and straightforward. We know from the get-go that the major theme of the movie is revenge; what it does to us, and what it can make us do, I felt like the film explored this in very satisfying, haunting way. If you have a strong stomach (the violence in this film is fast, visceral, and realistically portrayed), and are in the mood for a truly well-made thriller, this film is definitely for you.
