No DVDs at home now, so browsing through the Instant Queue (on the PS3) I found Red Road which was described by Neflix as “Suspenseful, Gritty, Dark.” I didn’t remember how I ended up adding this, but hey, it’s there so it must be watched.
I will admit I didn’t really know what was going on during much of this movie, but frankly, I found that refreshing since I’m a little tired of American films that feel the need to spoon feed the audience every step of the way, but I digress. So here’s the basics, woman has a job watching CCTV cameras, woman sees a man who she thought was in prison on camera, woman stalks man, and woman does crazy things…but with a reason. Many unspecified relationships that get worked out by the end.
Also worth noting this movie is subtitled. I didn’t think the Scottish accent with unintelligible myself, but maybe I’ve just watched to many early Danny Boyle movies.
Oh, and I did figure out how it ended up in my queue. After reading the reviews for Fish Tank (2009) by the same director, Andrea Arnold, I put this in my Queue. Fish Tank is in my DVD queue, but it’s currently not available.
Final rating: 3 stars (hey, that’s actually a good review for me)
