I enjoyed this movie through and through ‐ the idea of a loved one being murdered puts you as the viewer in a more sympathetic relationship with the heroine, who, very determined, does a great job of manipulating and cajoling the various dirt bags involved in her fathers' death. The story and its' players are very believable; you'll find yourself highly engaged in the goings on, and yes, ''the DESTINATION'' . . . • ○ Whilst it's not at the top of my Fave's List ○ it is A Four Star Production In My Book ● ————> See 🧐 ————> Enjoy 🤗
