Blue Ruin (2013)
7/10
THAT'S WHAT BULLETS DO
3 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
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.
