Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach, this one's for you. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. A good follow-up to Cape Fear or Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.

What might put you off
