The best I can say about this film is that it was alright. The premise was good, although i don't think it was very well executed.

Jon Bernthal was great, probably the best actor in this. John Lithgow and JK Simmons were sadly underused, and I really didn't rate Ben Affleck. Anna Kendrick too seems to play the same character in pretty much every film she's in.


Still I liked some of the action and the comedy, although by the end I couldn't quite figure out what the point was in the investigation into the accountant?

I quite enjoy this movie I do think that the reveal at the end concerning Jon bernthall just felt a little too forced and unrealistic

Earning His Trust by Alicia Nordwell
Earning His Trust tells the story of Evin. He is a single dad due to his partner being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is having a hard time of it, and just does his best to get by from day to day. Things go wrong when he severely burns his hand, and has to go to the hospital. There he receives another shock when he is treated by his ex-boyfriend, quite literally the one who got away. Ben is also shocked when he sees Evin, and wonders what has happened in his life to make him change from how Ben remembered him. So Ben makes it his mission to reunite with Evin, only as friends if need by, but hopefully more as Ben has never stopped loving him.

This was a great second chance novel that gives a lot detail in some area, but not so much in others. There is no explanation of why Ben disappeared without a trace, apart from he didn't think it would work. There's no explanation of how Daniel died, apart from he go shot. And Evin quickly decides to let Ben in, which came as a bit of a surprise given how much he had been hurt in the past.

Still, overall, this was a very good story, that kept my attention throughout. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. I would recommend this book.
