This is the best thriller I've seen in quite awhile. Too bad more people didn't see it. It came out last year, but I never heard of it until two days ago.

It's very realistic, all the characters are believable, and the acting and direction are very good. The last twelve minutes are especially entertaining, but I won't spoil it.

A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND is a dark drama from Northern Ireland about a single mother grieving her husband's unexpected and brutal death while at the same time struggling with local crime and the drugs trade which has a habit of coming into her home. It's a typical low budget production, one that's happy to go through the motions and feel that it's fresh and original when in fact it tells a predictable old story without much in the way of scripting going for it. There's a notably gruesome incident featured in the running time, but even this is excised of shock value when the direction is so routine. The one good thing about this is the excellent performance from Sarah Bolger, who really deserves better.

In a tough neighborhood, Sarah (Sarah Bolger) is a struggling single mom with two young kids. Her husband was brutally murdered and the police don't care. A man suddenly barges into her home. He's a drug dealer who had just stolen a stash from a ruthless drug lord. Sarah is relieved when he leaves but he keeps coming back. He's using her home as a stash house.

Bolger is great. The story is well constructed. There is some good reality to the situation. Other than a couple of minor issues, this is a great drama. I would definitely do the thing in the tub and not in that room. It would be easier to do the cleanup. I love all the little bread crumbs the story lays out. It took me a while to figure out what the policewoman meant at the beginning. I was a little slow but the movie is able to keep pulling me along. The director does need more seasoning to amp up his action work and the thriller aspect of the movie. There is still good tension due to Bolger's acting and the story. This is great.
