While looking to see what new releases came out today, I noticed Blood for Dust, and saw the cast and went in blind. What a pleasant surprise. There is great acting throughout especially by the co leads. Scoot McNairy, who is one of the top character actors in the business, thoughtfully carries this movie on his shoulders as a desperate man who can't shake the past and gets mixed up in some nefarious doings. While Kit Harrington is also phenomenal in an against type role as the loose cannon Ricky. They have good chemistry as old acquaintances maybe even friends. The action is well done, and there is some pretty brutal kills. The climax is extremely intense and had me on the edge of my seat. This is a must watch, especially if you like the movie Fargo. There is also amazing character actors sprinkled throughout in cameos. Josh Lucas chews scenery with ease and makes you wonder how we don't see more of him.

First I want to say, welcome back Kevin Williamson! It's a shame this didn't get a theatrical release, as I believe this would have been a hit. Once you watch, you will be able to figure out why there was next to zero marketing put behind this film. This film has so many good scenes, and Williamson turns the intensity to the max. This movie gets going pretty quick and never stops until the credits roll. The acting is good across the board. The two lead girls are the two standouts. I hope to see Gideon Adlon and Bethlehem Million in future horror projects, as they easily carry this film on their backs. I highly recommend watching this, if you take the time you will be rewarded.
