Saw it in the theater and really liked it. Absolutely brutal and really intense. I appreciate as well that the setting is not well tread ground in cinema, and they did a lot to make things feel more accurate. It's interesting that they chose Oregon as a setting as well, because there's KKK history there and the underground punk/metal scene in the Pacific Northwest crosses into a lot of white supremacist stuff like national socialist black metal and skinhead punks. The setting felt real to me, which helped a long way toward the believability. One minor criticism: Sam's death wasn't made very clear - it was almost blink and you miss it. It was also the second time a dog killed someone, so they'd already hit that note. I thought with her body getting loaded into the truck after not clearly showing her death, she was going to get up later and try to crash the truck. Though to be fair I do like how sudden everything happens - one mistake and you're done. Loki_XLII posted:This movie loving owns. I love how almost everything attempted has something go wrong.

Really sad, I liked him a lot and I was hoping he'd have a bright future. It's pretty horrifying too. Apparently he got out of his car to go to his brick pillar mailbox, and his car rolled down his inclined driveway and pinned him.

It confuses me why Pat sticks his whole arm out to give Darcy the gun instead of just tossing it or sliding it out on the floor. It seems like a plot contrivance to do a gore effect.

chalk posted:What I like about this film, and Blue Ruin, is people being unfamiliar with firearms: What I really like about both films is that the people in it are realistically awkward. When poo poo gets real in life nobody becomes an instant action hero, and revenge is never clean. Their best laid plans go to poo poo immediately because nobody acts the way you think they will. Dick Valentine posted:He doesn't. The gun is grabbed by a red lacer and Pat refuses to let go, so his arm is pulled out the door and hacked up until he releases it.
