Texas teen troubles

Retribution (2014)

Written and directed by Kat Candler this film also known as “Hellion” stars Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis and Josh Wiggins. A widower struggles to raise his trouble making 13 year old son and better behaved 10 year old son.

This is a fairly simple story but it really gets you in the head space of the characters and creates a lot of empathy for them. I like that the film does not become melodramatic, give in to cliché or try to shovel a message down your throat. What I did dislike about the film was that some of the close up, wobbly camera work was completely unnecessary and annoying.


3/5
