Blue Ruin

A man with nothing to lose is a man with nothing to fear - Blue Ruin.

The lead character is this homeless, frail guy. Weak and laughable and irrelevant, just living out his life, growing instead of achieving anything significant in life, when he finds out that the guy he hates the most, his parents’ killer is walking our of prison a free man.

And suddenly he changes. He now has a purpose in life and that is to kill the man who ruined his life.

His target is a big, brutal, powerful criminal whose entire family is pure evil.  

The revenge itself happens quickly and what this one act of vengeance unleashes is what this movie is all about.

The violence is, according to the director - brutal, shocking and disturbing.

The protagonist here is such a normal, clueless guy that the story and hence the movie is as different from any other revenge movie as chalk and cheese. He's not a killer but a bit of a wimp but has balls to go ahead and do crazy stuff even if he is scared shitless.  

You watch it for five minutes and you will not be able to walk away from it. Such is its stickiness. You have to watch what happens to the poor chump who has bitten more than he can chew.  

This is a must watch. An impactful, unforgettable, unpredictable, unique, tense and taut movie.
