Red Road (2006)

A video surveillance worker spots the man responsible for her husband's and daughter's deaths - who has been released from prison - while performing her work. She plots revenge.

The whole revenge plot is retarded, as anyone with a minimum knowledge of police procedure - not to mention basic psychology - will notice. As a study of loneliness and desire, and a depiction of marginal living in the UK, it is sometimes interesting. The result is problematic, a film that feels like being about something else than its actual plot. Plus, it's pretty tedious at times.
