Red White & Blue, a 2010 revenge thriller / horror film written and directed by Simon Rumley.
Three lives bound together in blood.
An apocalyptic love story set against a backdrop of flophouses, bars and empty lots in Austin, Texas, RED, WHITE & BLUE is at once showcase and comeback vehicle for legendary Australian actor Noah Taylor. The paths of an Iraq war veteran, the libidinous girl he works with and an unruly guitarist who cares for his terminally ill mother all collide in this parts poetic and parts dissonant psychodrama about the limits of love and ultimately limitless revenge.

Reviews
“This horror-slasher-thriller-tragi-romance is certainly going to leave some squeamish, but there's no denying that this is high-quality filmmaking.” San Francisco Chronicle
“Red White & Blue proves the director a bona fide storyteller with more tools in his arsenal than shock and awe.” The New York Times
“Rumley has assembled a fine cast; there's not a false step in the film, and while obviously this isn't a film for everyone, these are characters that we come to know, respect, and fall hard for, doomed or not.” Austin Chronicle
