Freja A @FrejaGaan Aug 19 Blue Ruin is a stripped-down, haunting thriller that finds beauty in the messiness of revenge. Its quiet tension and raw humanity make every moment feel painfully real, while the darkness never overwhelms the story’s emotional core. A bruising, beautifully made film that stays with you long after the credits roll. See more Tim B @SlimTim0707 Aug 10 Blue Ruin has elements that are interesting. The problem with it is that its characters are pretty lame and don't quite rise to the level of the material. This film reminds me of Rust Lake without the plot twists. See more Piya S @piyasqm Aug 8 Blue Ruin is a revenge movie for people who have absolutely no business attempting revenge. The plan is shaky, the execution is worse, and every victory comes with a fresh bill attached. Bleak, brutal, and quietly funny in the darkest possible way, it turns vengeance into a slow-motion car wreck you can’t stop watching. A grim little gem.

Worth a watch. See more Daniel B @Gkchesterton Mar 1 I don’t understand how this movie has positive reviews. It was so bad. At every turn, the filmmaker chose the less compelling and less dramatic option opting for boring pointless long shots. I guess an attempt to establish gravitas? Didn’t work. But more to the point, it’s so full of plot holes. He drives around with a guy in his trunk, leaving his car in public places for a good part of a day and no one hears the guy screaming, and banging on the trunk? He drags what he thinks is that guy’s dead body along with him when he’s trying to escape from people trying to kill him? Instead of just fleeing with a shotgun, he puts the shotgun down to put a dead body in his car? Nothing in this movie made any sense And the lead actor was terrible. He had one facial expression the entire movie. Miss it See more Ace H @ACEofbase Jan 3 Not sure how these so called experts on here can sleep giving this movie a 96 rating? I think the var has definitely been lowered or people today have just forgotten what actually qualifies for a quality film. The main character in this movie more plays a homeless vagrant then changes his look to a 35 year old middle school assistant principal then on a turn becomes Rambo? The story line is ok but the execution is sloppy and this character Leaves more tracks easier to follow than a snail. I for one have not compromised my opinion on what qualifies for a quality film just due to the fact that these movies are far and few these days, no I will not lower the bar even though that apparently is the trendy thing to do, I for one still remember what qualified for a 96 rating and these one indeed is not one of them.
