I love it and you touch on one of the things that separates it from the common thriller. Dwight is not the revenge type. He has no idea what he is doing and stumbles all over himself in the process. I like that unique angle. And Blair is indeed phenomenal.keith71_98https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815219499754051198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-84616398635999950992015-02-11T09:23:52.950-05:002015-02-11T09:23:52.950-05:00Blair was great.

And Blair was immense, I'm not sure anyone could dispute that, a career-making turn indeed. I saw this a while back, but your review now has me itching to watch it again as I can't seem to remember much, apart from remembering very clearly how much I enjoyed it. Gotta love a good ol' revenge flick. ;D<br /><br />cheersJordan Doddhttp://www.epilepticmoondancer.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-11398030929766804262015-02-10T23:55:27.737-05:002015-02-10T23:55:27.737-05:00Well if he's doing more of a drama, or somethi...Well if he's doing more of a drama, or something less intense/bloody, then I'll check it out :)Ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-29538601863296660542015-02-10T18:33:54.837-05:002015-02-10T18:33:54.837-05:00Thanks!

We can see he had some ideas, but things didn't pan out the way he planned and he's kinda making it up as he goes along.

It is amazing! Love how you compared him to more of a Fife than a Rambo. The revenge movie always pits this unreal badass against the bad guys. Blair as Dwight is just a dude with a grudge on a mission.

This made my top ten simply due to it's seemingly effortless ability to ratchet up the tension while remaining entirely believable and relatable. A lot of that must go to Macon Blair too.
