It's the American Dream turned into a grisly and depressing nightmare where there are no clear heroes or villains and you're never really sure who's getting revenge on who. The first hour plays like a bleak slow-burning drama aiming to depress you, whereas the 2nd half turns into a horrific revenge film that completely baffles the viewer's morals and emotions. I applaud Noah Taylor going against his usual charming & soft-spoken pip-pip roles and instead transforms himself into something twisted & quite frightening.
It's not a very nice film but with a uniquely structured narrative, wonderful performances and forcing the viewer to question themselves over & over I can't help but admire everything about it.
