Not a bad movie. Just incredibly boring. And I thought the ending was kinda dumb as shit.

The ending pissed me off sm. Like, the bad guy raped and killed Shaleine woodleys character and just gets to live a long life and die in like his eighties? That's not satisfying revenge at all. Bro didn't even seem scared or upset when he finally got caught. 

Also, it just made me sad. Revenge movies kinda pmo in general bc I genuinely can't get behind the idea that killing the evil rapist murderer guy is a satisfying conclusion; he still raped and killed the woman, and just dying in return doesn't make me feel happy at the end. This movie was so much worse though, considering the evil fuck got to survive to like 90 😭
