Entertaining but disappointing. It starts out as a revenge thriller and fizzles out. The three main characters are indeed characters, and there's good character development considering this is a short story, but the characters are shown from only one viewpoint. It's good to see such staunch loyalty after so many years of friendship but I was expecting more from the plot.
Graphic: Murder, Sexual assault, Cancer, Grief, and Misogyny
