Another refreshing Netflix original from Macon Blair debuting his directorial chops with this crime caper. A Women gets burgled and when the police show no interest she decides to go and find her belongings and confront the criminals who took them. Melanie Lynskey takes the lead role with aplomb she is always an excellent addition to any cast and should be used more as she is likeable and believable, Elijah Wood plays against type as a lonely thinks he's cool loser and isn't annoying surprisingly. It's a slow start and gets a little crazed and farcical towards it feels a little unbalanced, but it's a different idea with good acting and clean directing.
Like This Watch These: Blue Ruin (2013) Macon Blair stars in this excellent revenge piece, The Brave One (2007) Jodie Foster takes revenge after an attack, Harry Brown (2009) Don't mess with old people.
