Very good independent flick

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2017)

Green Room
This is edger and more complex than the director's earlier Blue Ruin. Same formula. A look at America's underbelly. Hapless characters caught up in something bigger.
A tragedy played out to the end.
A group of itinerate hard rock musicians are on a road tour. Living hard, they get a gig in a very rough neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, they end up as witnesses to a murder. The hard men decide their fate. And, our merry band try to escape.
Events roll on from there.
This film has a better screen play, better dialogue, more diverse characters sketched sharply, better editing and prolonged drama during the stand off.
There is not one, but two climatic scenes.
Patrick Steward does a good job as the decisive leader of the ultra- violent militia. Who knew that there was a red-lace killer squad?
Very credible effort by the independent film makers.
