“he said he wouldn’t stop talking about his dad.” 🥹 that final shot… I feel sick
joeAug 6, 2025I actually liked this film much more than I expected. I thought it was a typical revenge thriller, but it turns out it has more to offer than I thought. Garret Hedlund plays a magnificent role; we clearly feel his pain and resentment, but we see how that evolves into…
