Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Fury of a Patient Man (2017)

Eight years after a robbery that left his father in a coma and his fiancee dead, Jose is still consumed by the event. He works his way into the everyday life of the family of the one participant that was caught and is soon due to be released from prison.

This film unfolds perfectly. Only after we meet the main characters do we understand how they fit together. At that point, we can surmise the path forward while all but one of the people on screen are in the dark. The acting is superb: much is accomplished with a minimum of dialogue. 

B+
