Dwight learns that his parents' killer is released early from prison. He then seeks him and kills him for revenge. An amateur in killing people he escapes barely from the scene and almost gets killed with some people chasing him for revenge too. He injured and kidnapped one of them and puts him in his car's trunk, and then goes to his old friend for guns. He then confronts his captive assailant with a gun. It turns out to be some kind of a family feud. The tides gets turned but luckily his friend helped him.
Then he goes to the killer's family house to close all loops so there won't be any retaliations in the future. After a few days, the rest of the family showed up there. Dwight, who've been waiting there tried to reason with them to end the revenge cycle but to no avail, and eventually everyone's dead except the youngest kid of the killer's family.
The story picks up quite fast at the beginning but slows down badly after one third of the movie.In my opinion, there are major things missing from the movie that are just making the movie seems empty. For instance, the movie doesn't communicate the memory of Dwight's parents or the sort, so the viewers doesn't really have a clue about how worthy is the revenge for Dwight.
And also, with the above said, this movie has so many wasted scenes that doesn't really contribute to the whole story. There's too much time spent on Dwight brooding over alone. This makes the thrill quite literally vanish out of this thriller. Consistency is also a problem here because the mood swings to widely in this movie. What is supposedly meant to be a pause or intersessions between thrill scenes just takes to long, and ultimately makes the movie quite boring.
The acting is quite flat overall. I don't really know whether it's made to suit the mood of the entire movie, it's just it, flat. At first I thought it was Dwight's character, but apparently almost all the characters are flat, even Dwight's gun wielding friend. The only real emotion play is seen on the final scene dialog, but unfortunately that scene is quite overdone.
The music's quite strange, it shows so suddenly it's kind of shocking.That doesn't really do good to the movie to put any suspense for the audience. I guess it's kind of intended for the movie to be like it, but seeing this movie feels like I'm watching All Is Lost (2013) which is redone in the middle of a US countryside.
So, I don't agree with the high ratings at IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes for this movie. Overall from me, it's a 5 out of 10 scoring movie, and that's me being generous. No, I definitely don't recommend you to go and see this movie.
