Blue Ruin

[Charles Albert]

I'm gonna dissent..


The rec made me curious and the Rotten Tomatoes rating obliged me to find
it (free, btw) on Amazon Prime...I thought it was very good...never
considered the possibility  that a movie with even less dialog than the
verbally sparse, Derzu Uzala, could be made.

Appeared to me to check the necessary Noir boxes.

love,
cfa
