Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and romantics. If you loved Cape Fear, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: expect violence.

A woman takes the law into her own hands after police ignore her pleas to arrest the man responsible for her husband's death, and finds herself not only under arrest for murder but falling in love with an officer.
