About
You may enjoy this if you want a tough, female-led crime story with a mean streak and a 1970s vibe; Not for you if you need tight plotting, subtle themes, or low violence—especially compared with Widows.
Pros: bold role-reversal premise; strong lead performances; gritty 70s atmosphere | Cons: rushed character shifts; uneven pacing; clichéd dialogue
