![]() Razorblade Tears thus serves up a revenge thriller starring two aging but hard men looking to get some justice for their murdered boys. ![]() The brutal murder of their kids, however, becomes a bit of a bond, and after a few months of the cops getting nowhere on the case, Ike and Buddy Lee decide to 'look into it' and make the murdering assholes pay. At the funeral, Ike meets Isiah's husband's father, Buddy Lee also an aging ex-con, Buddy Lee had a similar experience with his son. Once Ike's son Isiah 'came out' they never saw eye to eye again, or rather, Ike could never understand or emphasize with his son when Isiah married his partner, that was the last straw. Ike reminds me quite a bit of the main protagonist in Blacktop Wasteland and both novels are set in Virginia as well. Razorblade Tears begins with Ike's son's funeral. Our main protagonist, Ike, is an ex-con, a former player, who now runs a lawn service company. ![]() Cosby serves up another taut thriller here, but the underlying (and omnipresent) social commentary got old pretty fast. ![]()
