Movie Review! Return To Sender

Taking a break from my horror movie binge watching, I decided to catch up on some of the other movies popping up in my recommend queue.  Today's choice was a slow and predictable little revenge thriller starring Rosamund Pike and Nick Nolte. 

Rosamund Pike stars as Miranda Wells, a critical care nurse who is on the path to becoming a surgical nurse.  With her house on the market, she is looking to upgrade to a bigger and better home.  When a blind date goes horribly wrong, Miranda's plans are shattered.  As she struggles to regain her life, she soon discovers that the key to her recovery is in revenge.

Previously I stated that this was slow and predictable.  Mind you, that is not always a bad thing.  This is definitely a drama and a great portrayal by Rosamund of a rape victim trying to pick up the pieces of her life.  The ending is a bit rushed considering the lead in, but with the time constraints of a typical movie, this is understandable.

Not a bad rainy day or weekend afternoon movie but definitely one more for the ladies.
