A truly chilling film
If you don't approach with expectations, and sit back and allow yourself be absorbed into "Blood for Dust," you'll be rewarded with a unique look at the terrifying consequences of bad choices. The most impressive thing about this film is how real it plays. The well-suited cast brings us totally believable characters, even though almost all are virtually unlikable and irredeemable. The cinematography throughout is beautifully evocative...though the winter scenes will do little to boost tourism in Montana;) Overall the pace is deliberate, and stealthy -- except for the violence. The confrontations in this film are not the typical fare of slow motion, excessively loud sound effects and stuntman choreography. The violence here jumps off suddenly, at times is even awkward, and it all feels very real and very evil. As we see the unintended, chilling consequences of bad choices we also see that the most destructive lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
