“Return To Sender” (** out of four) was a genuinely bizarre Redbox melodrama about a small-town nurse (Rosamund Pike) who is brutally raped in her home by a man (Shiloh Fernandez) she meets on a blind date. Upon his capture and arrest, she then strikes up a relationship and befriends him (!) for her own gradual purposes for revenge. Odd and aloof drama features a strong performance from Pike but takes too long to unfold. More-or-less, Pike seems to be playing the same character she played in “Gone Girl.” Nick Nolte looks grizzled and hungover as usual playing Pike’s supportive dad.
