Rape-revenge never looked so gorgeous in Promising Young Woman. Bright colors, exquisite clothes and Carey Mulligan’s beautiful face light up the screen even when the film is at its darkest.

Rent It The Car: Road to Revenge: File The Car: Road to Revenge under sequels pertaining to franchise naming rights got on the cheap, because really who was looking for a sequel to the semi-obscure '70s cult 'classic' some 40 years later? Who indeed? Primarily dudes surfing Netflix in the middle of the night, I'd gather. To that end, if you can't sleep you could find worse ways to kill 90 minutes than watching this daft, CGI-gory action/sci-fi bit of clap-trap.
