Blue Ruin plot
"Revenge comes home."
Dwight is a totally ruined man. His life came crashing down years ago when a man committed a horrific, murderous act in his childhood home. Since then, he lives a frugal existence and sleeps in his car. But all that changes when he finds out that the killer is being released from prison. Dwight will track down the killer and take revenge. But what Dwight overlooks is that the killer, like himself once, has a family.

The aimless life of homeless Dwight [Macon Blair] takes a dramatic turn when he learns that the man responsible for the death of Dwight's parents has been released. Dwight decides to take revenge without considering the consequences of his act. That's the beginning of a deadly cat-and-mouse game that can only end one way.
Intriguing beginning is reminiscent of an intense psychological thriller, but all possibilities to provide the characters (and thus the story) with some depth quickly fly out the window in favor of a fairly banal revenge thriller. Devin Ratray has a great supporting role as an old acquaintance with an above average knowledge of firearms and provides some nice moments.

This was good man! Fairly simple story and simple and slow direction , but despite that great execution .
Protagonist Blair knows how to handle this kind of Indies work. He is also a kind of unusual anti-hero here.
Add a touch of horror and this stubborn revenge film is complete. Really recommended.

The film starts quite promising when we follow a mysterious drifter. But then he gets a message that someone is being released from prison and then it turns out to be an ordinary revenge movie where the bum hunts a number of men and the men the bum. And all under the guise of a vague story that is nowhere really clear and hardly even seems to matter. And so the film drops halfway from three to two stars. And with the improbable plot I eventually even take half a star off. Although I have to admit that the film was quite interesting and fortunately did not last too long.
