A Good Woman Is Hard to Find

When I first came across this movie, I never expected much, but what a movie it turned out to be. The performance of Sarah Bolger was outstanding! The plot was great, it kept me on my toes since its start till the very end, specially the last 15 minutes; they were mind blowing. Watch it now! You'll never regret.

In a tough neighborhood, Sarah (Sarah Bolger) is a struggling single mom with two young kids. Her husband was brutally murdered and the police don't care. A man suddenly barges into her home. He's a drug dealer who had just stolen a stash from a ruthless drug lord. Sarah is relieved when he leaves but he keeps coming back. He's using her home as a stash house.

Bolger is great. The story is well constructed. There is some good reality to the situation. Other than a couple of minor issues, this is a great drama. I would definitely do the thing in the tub and not in that room. It would be easier to do the cleanup. I love all the little bread crumbs the story lays out. It took me a while to figure out what the policewoman meant at the beginning. I was a little slow but the movie is able to keep pulling me along. The director does need more seasoning to amp up his action work and the thriller aspect of the movie. There is still good tension due to Bolger's acting and the story. This is great.

An engaging and entertaining movie, but not for the squeamish. The storyline effectively combines elements of social realism, thriller/suspense, gruesome black comedy and a bit of kinky humour. Technically very high standard (even though apparently made on a low budget) with a solid cast. But it's worth watching the movie for Sarah Bolger's great performance alone.

The plot is pretty straightforward, it has some clever twists but nothing ground breaking. The unshakable tension is impressive, maintaining a genuine feeling of suspense and unease from beginning to end. Sarah Bolger's performance is fantastic, she delivers a very human character that you can really feel is tearing apart at the seams. To move the plot forward, they rely on several overly convenient and unbelievable coincidences, and it kinda takes you out of things sometimes. Otherwise, it's an easy watch, if you consider watching a women go through horrible things for 90 minutes to be easy to watch.

Then again this one tries quite hard and some might give it points for having a female lead and taking things to a certain level. On the other hand there are also many cliches served, which may not play that well with some viewers (especially those who like to watch quite a lot of movies).

There are a few things that will make you cringe and there are quite a few coincidences that help move the story along. If you can dig them/allow them to happen, you will be able to be entertained by the movie. If not ... well, you already know the answer as you will know the outcome of this
