Author: Jack Ketchum (book)
This is a new film based on Jack Ketchum ’s novel and it’s excellent. It tells the slow tale of an old man whose dog is pointlessly killed by a punk rich kid who thinks it’s nothing. But the old man won’t let it go and tries criminal and legal proceedings and eventually takes the law into his own hands. It’s a fascinating character study, a deep look at revenge and motivation, and is extremely well-acted and produced. It’s not a fast or flashy story, but that fits the old man perfectly. Recommended.
