If you loved Green Room, try Blue Ruin

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Blue Ruin is

A rusty Pontiac, Virginia coast, summer haze. A beach bum's solitude shattered, he drives north to confront his past, seeking revenge with a handgun. Saulnier's stark morality play unfolds with unflinching violence.
