About
Choose this if you want a dark, emotionally driven revenge thriller with a relentless hunt for answers and lots of conspiracy pressure; Not for you if you dislike bleak violence or need a tighter, more polished mystery, and skip it if you prefer the cleaner tone of A Walk Among the Tombstones.
Pros: gripping revenge mystery; emotional core; realistic violence | Cons: slow pacing at times; plot feels messy; some clichéd resolution
