About
You may enjoy this if you want a gritty, revenge-leaning thriller about women banding together against violent men and corruption; Not for you if you want subtle realism, tight plotting, or a tone like Extraction.
Pros: strong cast; energetic soundtrack; satisfying confrontations | Cons: confusing stretches; uneven character focus; less nuanced villains
