About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, woman-led revenge story with steady tension and minimal song-and-dance, in the vein of Johnny Gaddaar or Company; Not for you if you need big surprises or a lighter tone.
Pros: gripping revenge drive; strong lead performance; brisk pace | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven realism; not very twisty
