About
You may like this if you want a harsh, old-school vigilante revenge thriller with a grim Los Angeles vibe, similar to Out for Justice; Not for you if extended sexual assault scenes or bleak, exploitative violence are dealbreakers.
Pros: relentless revenge drive; dark, gritty mood; memorable lead presence | Cons: disturbing sexual violence; sleazy, uncomfortable tone; contrived, hokey moments
