4.0

Really good thriller with some fun dialogue. . . .however it does cover some very triggering topics (sexual assault, rape, pedophilia, grooming) so trend lightly. It doesn’t have a “good” ending and ends more or less exactly how you might expect it would. Justice is avoided, accountability shunned. But, the ride to get there does make for some good storytelling.
