Widows is one damn good gritty heist thriller! The story is compelling from the start and dripping with tension throughout. On a side note - no one does "cold as ice" quite like Viola Davis. This woman is the queen of mean - and I mean this in the best way possible. The stakes in this film are truly high and it isn't long before McQueen has you eating right out of his (directing) hands. I could have done without one plot twist though (no spoilers), as it seemed rather cheap for such a well crafted narrative. Otherwise, this is a downright A-grade effort by all involved.
