A Brutally Delicious Fun Fest of A Film... A Must See Film For Fans of Homicidal Intrigue... So much fun watching this unfold and evolve, characters were a joy to see in action. It didn't feel forced as many of the movies of late, I genuinely felt connected to each of them as they pushed us Into each new piece of the story created here. A must see for fans of mystery and intrigue...
