The indie world has been buzzing about Blue Ruin since it first premiered at TIFF in the fall of 2013. The revenge thriller has been compared to the early work of the Coen Brothers, and looking at the latest trailer it’s not hard to understand why.

Blue Ruin follows a peaceful vagrant who finds his quiet life upended by dreadful news and sets off for his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Since he is only an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family that seems laced with pitch black humor. You can view the latest trailer below.

We are screening Blue Ruin this Sunday in Boston and hope to have a full review up sometime next week. The film opens on April 25 in US theaters and on VOD, and hits the UK on May 2.
