WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This is the gritty and violent prequel to the 2016 crime thriller The Intent, which I honestly never heard of until reading about it for this film, but it obviously has an audience (otherwise why would there be a follow-up?) that should be satisfied by this new entry.
