This has the bones of your stock standard revenge thriller with one crucial change: our protagonist has ZERO special skill set. He is not Liam Neeson, he is not even Bob Odenkirk, he is Macon Blair (Director of the Toxic Avenger remake) and here he plays unhoused man Dwight clearly suffering from some past trauma, which we soon learn is as a result of his parents untimely un-aliving by a redneck crime family.
When the perpetrator is released from prison, Dwight decides to take matters into his own hands. If he could just learn how to handle a semiautomatic weapon.
This is a sombre, gritty and realistic take on crime, its repercussions across families and the fall out of adopting an endless (and goalless) cycle of revenge. Macon Blair (whose name will never not remind me of Bacon) does a good job of giving plausibility to what seems like a fantasy scenario.
Jan Brady is in this and I didn’t even recognise until I looked up the cast list!
