My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

This Man Must Die (1969)

This isn't your typical revenge flick.  Directed by Claude Chabrol, it's not just about a man trying to find the driver of the car that ran down his young son, it's also about how revenge makes it impossible for one to love again.  While it feels like a dated thriller it's still an enjoyable story with acceptable performances.  If you like Chabrol than this is one to check out even if it's not his best.  Grade: B+
