CriticsCritics: 30
AudienceAudience: 7.5

After a plea bargain frees one of the men responsible for a devastating crime against his family, a grieving man takes justice into his own hands. His campaign targets the prosecutor and others involved in the deal, turning a dispute over the legal system into a tense revenge thriller.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like tense revenge thrillers, morally complicated conflicts, and high-stakes action; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories, restrained violence, or tightly convincing plots.
