Director Wang Jian visits a desolate village at night and learns from an old woman, who has been guarding the ancient village for decades, about a massacre caused by greed: After the villain Hu Rencheng struck a gold vein, poisoned his benefactors, sexually assaulted a young girl, and drowned the witnesses in the lake, he was eliminated by his senior, Uncle De, at the cost of Uncle De's life. Uncle De blocked the spring with his body, and the lake water became clear again. The old woman telling the story is Uncle De's young apprentice who swore to guard this place back then—what goes around comes around, and the guardianship never ceases.

Nick Rowland’s She Rides Shotgun is a blistering, blood-soaked road thriller that doubles as a bruised love story between a haunted ex-con (a career-best Taron Egerton) and the daughter he barely knows (astonishing newcomer Ana Sophia Heger).

It’s gritty, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—a father-daughter odyssey destined to leave audiences shaken.
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
