About
If you want a realistic, dark revenge thriller with a slow build and an escalating fight for family, Blue Ruin may hit hard; Not for you if you dislike slow burn tension, since it can feel uneven after an intriguing start, like The Limey or Green Room.
Pros: dark revenge tension; memorable lead; slow-burn payoff | Cons: slow middle; limited predictability; mixed pacing
