Review of Red, White and Blue (1971) by Sanjid P — 24 Apr 2011
With quick & stylish editing & direction it all started like a slow burn, bit of a bleak drama that for the first two-third of the film focuses the interwoven events of the three characters...Erica, a young girl who is trying to fill the void of her existence by working at odd jobs & having sex with almost any guy she meets; Franki, a guitarist in a garage band, with dreams of making it big, all the while caring for his cancer stricken mother and Nate, an Iraq war veteran, kinda edgy & disturbed (Noah Taylor did a great job portraying the role).
But in the third act it was like all hell broke loose...slowly the end comes with a pretty brutal and uncompromising revenge scenario where director Simon Rumley though left most of it off screen but skillfully managed to works it for the audience that's enough to make you shiver or think about even after the credit rolls. It was gruesome, it was fun to watch!
Overall, an exceptionally interesting indie effort that every genre fans should check out.
