Blue Ruin

Dwight Evans (Macon Blair) is a homeless man living on the edge. The police informs him that Wade Cleland is being released. He sets off to kill Wade who had killed his parents. After he accomplishes the deed, he is surprised that the murder isn't in the news. Dwight assumes that the Clelands are coming for revenge themselves and that's exactly what they do.

This is a crime thriller strip down to the bone. It is ominously quiet. Dwight is a quiet character. The violence is ugly, bloody and brutal. It is not stylized but filled with an easy realism. It's a hybrid of horror and crime in an indie. There are no cool dialog. It is very effective.
