Dwight, the protagonist of "Blue Ruin," was a curious fellow. After the police thoughtfully alert him that the killer of his parents has been let out of jail, Dwight proceeds to kill the entire family, sparing only his half-brother, the result of the union of his lascivious father and the mother of the Cleland gang.
The best part of the film was the brief sequence with Dwight and his old buddy Ben from high school. Ben truly had his friend's back in a struggle for survival and revenge.
Unfortunately, the bulk of the film was filled with one-dimensional characters and a concatenation of unpleasant and violent scenes.
The film's ending was strange with the postcard from Virginia, a memento that acknowledges the end of the struggle of the Hatfields and the McCoys.
