5 out of 5
I thoroughly loved this movie threw and threw.  I think anyone can relate to the pain she must have gone threw and the anger she had with the police.  The movie shows how quickly your life can go from picture perfect to hell and how different paths you choose can mold who you will become.  This is a great movie for anyone that’s into getting revenge.  There is obviously some violence, nudity and foul language, but it’s all true to the feel and make of the movie.
