About
You might like this if you enjoy grim, low-budget revenge thrillers with a nasty streak, somewhere between Edge of Darkness and A Walk Among the Tombstones; Not for you if you need likable characters or a tight, believable plot.
Pros: disturbing intensity; gritty revenge setup; unpredictable turns | Cons: slow pacing; implausible story beats; hard-to-like lead
