Directed by: Simon Rumley
Released: 2010
It's a revenge flick, but... it's not what you'd expect. It's really difficult to review this film without giving away the entire story. In fact, there's a pretty major plot point early on that sets the tone for the rest of the film, and I can't even really divulge what it is. RW&B focuses on the stories and lives of three people, Erica, Nate and Frankie, whose paths all cross at one point or another. Erica is a lowlife drifter girl who bangs pretty much any dude who asks her (and there's a lot of 'em). Frankie is a more lighthearted, even sort of likeable, character. The young, hip guy in the band. And Nate.. Nate is an Iraq war vet, honorably discharged. He's also a complete psychopath who regales people with tales of torturing animals as a child (except his beloved cat, he "treated that cat like it was [his] little baby.") He also may or may not have a job offer from the CIA.
So we've got these three characters... what does all this mean? Again, I can't really say without giving away too much. Plus, it's so much better when you see everything unfold without any preconceived notions. If you like gritty revenge films, watch this. If you like well done arthouse films and don't mind some brutal (but appropriate) violence, watch this. 8/10.
