A guy with nothing to lose, turned homeless after a tragic event, who goes to get revenge on a criminal. This has been done countless time, but this one is really original. First this is a regular guy, no special skill, just the desire for revenge. This is no action movie.

Even if he kinda sucks [spoiler]the deed is actually done quite quickly and you wonder what's the point of the movie now[/spoiler], but it quickly becomes more complicated. Crazy how the character loses all charisma after shaving though.

Not only do we get more, with [spoiler]the Cleland also trying to make their own justice[/spoiler], but everything becomes way greyer when Dwight learns [spoiler]that the guy he killed didn't actually killed his parents[/spoiler]. Well, [spoiler]still a criminal apparently, and the whole family is no choir boys[/spoiler], but still...

This comes to a great ending, him wanting to stop ([spoiler]two of yours, two of mine[/spoiler]), yet the guy fucks it up by [spoiler]revealing they were going after his sister[/spoiler]. In the end, [spoiler]everybody dies, but the younger is safe. Not clear he's aware of who he is though, and how deep he is linked to all that happened[/spoiler]. Quite dramatic, not a nice ending but with a bit of hope. Satisfying.

One think though, kinda stupid to barricade yourself for your last stand, and put your back to a window... Also, pretty sure he had checked the [spoiler]couch for weapons[/spoiler], did he forget one ?

Ben is an extraordinary support character. Calm, thoughtful. Knows enough to not push too much, but still [spoiler]follows him cause he wanna help. And what a shot, while still trying to keep it legal[/spoiler]! Instructs him, helps him, while being aware of what's happening.

Also the intro makes the movie seem from another time, with a police officer trying to take care of a homeless person out of genuine care, like what ?
