So much of the suspense in Jeremy Saulnier's terrific little revenge thriller comes from the audience having no clue what will happen next, because Dwight (Macon Blair) has no idea what he's doing. The movie lays that out in the scene that triggers all the violence that will follow, as Dwight tracks down Wade Cleland Jr. (Sandy Barnett), who's just finished serving a sentence for the murder of Dwight's parents. Dwight tries to steal a gun and fails, and ends up following Wade into the bathroom of a club. Dwight's terrified and trembling, there in that restroom stall — he's never killed anyone before. And the scuffle and murder that follows is as messy and unpleasant as, well, murders probably are, setting the tone for everything that to come.
