Whoever wrote in their review “I support women’s rights and wrongs” put it perfectly 😂❤️ This is action packed almost from the start with a pace that never slows down once it picks up. Bloody and iconic. The main characters aren’t good people but no one is in this story. Everyone is some shade of grey, but the main characters work to destroy the systems of oppression that subjugate women.
