About
If you like hard-edged crime dramas about family loyalty and moral pressure, this may work for you, especially if Ida Red or Desperation Road clicked; Not for you if you want lighter pacing or clear-cut heroes.
Pros: tense family conflict; morally messy choices; gritty atmosphere | Cons: familiar crime setup; heavy tone; limited freshness
