Blue Ruin

description

Festival favourite BLUE RUIN is quickly proving itself as one of the best thrillers of the decade. Dwight (Macon Blair) is a hapless young drifter, living out of his car and trying to stay ahead of his personal demons. He’s seeking out the man who ruined his life. He fi nds him, though revenge is anything but sweet, and the would-be assassin gets more than he bargained for. Revenge comes with a price, and Dwight quickly finds himself caught in a spiral of violence he’s unable to escape. Now a fugitive and on the run, he must race against time to protect his estranged family from a vicious gang of killers looking to take him

down. 

Recalling the darkly humorous fi lms of the Coen brothers (BLOOD SIMPLE, FARGO) and classic, gritty Southern crime fi ction, BLUE RUIN is a thriller of uncommon power. Director Jeremy Saulnier (MURDER PARTY) has crafted that rarest of thrillers: uncompromisingly realistic, violent, witty and humane. A must see.
