Razorblade Tears

Wow...I was expecting vigilantism and revenge but not this level of violent grittiness reminiscent of noir thrillers. Admittedly too on the nose at times with its preaching, but I'd rather that than a complete dismissal of reality, even if magnified, in rural parts of America.

I don't recommend picking this up if the premise is enough to get a rise out of you, but I do like to think culpable (yet receptive) humans deserve a chance to learn from their mistakes, no matter how late. That being said, I wouldn't necessarily say the fathers are redeemed by their actions or by the narrative itself - revenge is simply the only way they can channel their regret in the physical plane.

Thanks to Marie for the push to finally listen to this!
