Synopsis

The recently widowed mother of two, Sarah, is desperate to know who murdered her husband in front of her young son, rendering him mute. Coerced into helping a low-life drug dealer stash narcotics stolen from the local Mr. Big, she's forced into taking drastic action to protect her children, evolving from downtrodden submissive to take-charge vigilante.

The Good

This independent film is very good. The small scale of the story makes it captivating and brings a realism to the characters. The movie keeps you on the edge on what the main character will do or react. I wasn’t familiar with Sarah Bolger, but she gives a great performance in this. You feel her struggle and anger at the same time. I was surprise by the amount of violence because the movie seems so light-hearted. Definitely check this one out.

  • Realism in story.
  • Great performance by Sarah Bolger.
  • Good tension.

The Bad

On the other hand, the bad guys in this movie are not well explain. They are very cliché. You understand the history between the main character and them but it would’ve been better to show us via flashbacks. Also, some other characters doesn’t add anything to the story.

  • Poorly written villains.
  • Unnecessary characters.
