Grizzly deeds
Well what can be said about this fairly grizzly film.
This film has you on the edge of your set gripped with suspense as Atkin trys to crack a safe in his employers house to pay his wife's debt and ensure his wife's safety, when this all goes wrong and it turns into a game of cat and mouse with a menacing psychopath has the house rigged with traps.
This is a must see film even with it massive hole in the story but I will let you figure that one out.

True Detective vibe
Slow burn Thriller
A good interesting serial killer thriller that is a slow burn and thought provoking. Definitely a bit different from the normal direction of this genre, but that only comes apparent about half way through. If you like True Detective you should enjoy this but it's definitely not an open and shut case of cat and mouse you normally find with this genre. It's just the ending which is good but also a bit unfulfilling that is a slight let down. The cast keep your interest though especially Jared Leto as the creepy suspect.

Jodie Comer
Darkly funny thriller
A truly binge worthy show. I got through the 8 episodes in just a few sessions. A mix of cat and mouse spy thriller as a Mi6 agent tracks a female assassin. It has plenty of often dark humour to go with it. The first few episodes made me think of the Hitman 47 game as the assassin goes to great lengths to make their hit. It slows down a bit for the last couple of episodes and the storyline became a little bit odd. Overall though it's a very enjoyable, classy series.

Story/plot
East meets west
Thrown together in an East meets West scenario that puts Chinese detective Lee (Jackie Chan) in a perfectly bizzare pair up with loud mouthed, over eccentric, flirtatious comedy cop detective Carter (Chris Tucker).
With its explosive action, quirky humour rush hour has aged brilliantly that see's the duo awkwardly enter a cat and mouse game as they work together in order to track down a Chinese criminal who's kidnapped the daughter of a Chinese consul.
WAR! what is it good for?.....

A mix of Thriller, Whodunit & Horror
Great cat & mouse Thriller
I really enjoyed this despite the fact it seemed to go straight to DVD. It has a well known cast including LL Cool J, Val Kilmer and Christian Slater. It has good production values as well.
A team of Fbi profilers are at a remote location under going a training selection when they start getting bumped off one by one. It has ideas from And then there were none and even some death traps like the Saw films. Well worth checking out if any of that appeals. Similar to @D-Tox (Eye See You) (2002) as well.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for provide ng me with a copy of The Everlasting Rose in exchange for an honest review.
I cannot tell a lie. The Belles was one of my favorite books of 2018 and I was thrilled when I got the chance to review this one.
I loved it. The cat-and-mouse in the beginning was so well done and Camille having no idea who to trust just added the right amount of suspense.
The Belle mythology is intriguing and horrifying and like the first book this one has no small amount of body horror.
The only "complaint" I really have is that I wish we could have met the Iron Ladies sooner. I was so fascinated by them!

Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated Obi-Wan Kenobi in TV
Sep 30, 2022
Well hello there...
Ok so we finally have a bridging story surrounding the mystery of what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi after the events of Episode3 Revenge of the Sith.
Set 10 years after the events of Episode3, Kenobi now living under an alias and working a regular job and avoiding the force almost entirely, is slowly pulled back in when the last of the jedi (untrained) are basically wiped out and a very young Princess leia is kidnapped... And after being asked repeatedly to rescue her and saying no, Kenobi succumbs to his old ways.
From a rescue mission to a cat and mouse chase with Darth Vader... This is one epic tie-in to the saga.
DO NOT MISS IT!

Wow ... that was a fast-paced, non-stop, action-packed read from page 1 and I absolutely devoured it.
The pace is relentless, the characters are strong and likeable and whilst the twists didn't surprise me that much, they didn't take away any of the enjoyment for me.
This is what I would call a traditional cat-and-mouse story, however, it felt up to date and modern with the addition of podcasts which, I think, worked extremely well and introduced a different element and perspective to the story.
Alex Knight is definitely an author I will seek out in the future.
Thanks must go to The Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Phil Leader (619 KP) rated Rag Doll in Books
Nov 25, 2019
On a family holiday Jeremy takes his son out for the day. His marriage isn't doing too well and he's been having an affair, which triggers a sequence of events when his son finds something unexpected...
Rag Doll is a short story that plays with the reader as much as with the characters, in the same way a cat will play with an unfortunate mouse. This is a quick read but Scarberry uses the format well, in essence providing a sketch of the story and getting the reader to fill in the details.
Hard to say more without giving anything away. But definitely worth a read. Very thought provoking.
