Sweet Girl

Ray Cooper (Jason Momoa) and his daughter Rachel are coping with the recent loss of wife/mom to cancer. Turns out that a drug that could have helped her was too expensive on-brand and the Pharma company made a deal to buy out generic manufacturing. Wife/Mom dies and Ray and Rachel really don't get over it. The rest of the film plays out as a revenge thriller, and while the target is a particular Pharma CEO, the web of culpability gets more tangled the further we go. We get family survivalist vibes as well as conspiracy theory police psychology and straight up revenge action. Definitely one of those films that is fun to watch and think about later.
4 stars (out of 5)
