"Who needs brains? They never did a girl any good..." - Cassandra

Why watch this? When a girl decides she's had enough, it's going to get real.

Plot Summary: Cassie, a medical school dropout haunted by a traumatic past, leads a double life as a secret vigilante who feigns intoxication to catch and confront predatory men. While managing her own grief, she embarks on a meticulous, dangerous campaign to exact revenge on those responsible for a past injustice involving her best friend. As her actions escalate, she is forced to confront key individuals from her past.

Dad's Preview: In one of the best revenge flicks in years, a woman goes full Alex Forrest against men who prey on drunken women at night clubs. She takes her serial-revenge to an art form and, honestly, these deceptive fellows haven't got a chance. Carey Mulligan really shines in this neo-noir thriller. Her low, purposeful voice is hypnotic. She is perfect in this role as a sexual vigilante on the edge of going too far. Frankly, her mental stability comes into question early on, and she just goes with it. It is tense and dreadful, as she works her way to resolution with the man who drugged and raped her best friend years ago.
