A story with a well-balanced mix of mystery, suspense, and action. The family may be dysfunctional, but only regarding each other. When handling a common enemy with bad intentions, an effective team effort comes into play. The dialogue is realistic, the imagery clear, and the action believable and effective. A good all-rounder for thriller fans and especially enjoyable for vigilante fans like me.
