13 Awesome Summer Movies You Probably Missed

13. Green Room

The Plot: A punk band finds themselves fighting for their lives after witnessing a murder at their gig's venue, and subsequently facing off against a gang of neo-Nazi skinheads.

Why It's Awesome: Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin) again proves himself a master of sustained tension and meaningful violence, wringing every visceral ounce out of this tight, grimy, superbly acted little thriller.

Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots are especially terrific as two of the youngsters targeted by the skinheads, while Patrick Stewart is simply unforgettable in a majorly against-type role as Darcy, the leader of the skinheads.

You'll wince at the violence, your heart will race as the kids try to survive, and you might even occasionally laugh too (very occasionally).

It sadly (and unsurprisingly) didn't do much business at the box office, though seems more likely to succeed on the home video market. Above all else, it affirms Saulnier as one of the most interesting filmmakers working today.
