May 25, 2021
Chris Rock, a little hard to view as a homicide detective, is working a case of a potential copycat killer of Saw targeting dirty cops. There is plenty of blood and gore in the traps as you expect, although they are less centre stage this time.
It's a decent mix of a cop thriller with the Saw traps twist thrown in. Although the ending was a little abrupt for me. Overall a decent film that will keep Saw fans happy while moving in a different direction.

I'm one of those who that movie pretty much soured me on seeing any others by the same director.
However, this recently popped up on Netflix and so I decided that, as enough time had passed, I would give it a shot.
What I saw was pretty much a standard whodunnit, not as funny or as clever as the reviews made it out to be, and with some twists and turns I saw coming but others which I didn't.
I will agree, however, that Ana de Armas is the standout in the entire film. (And the least said about Craig's atrocious accent the better)
Hazel (2934 KP) rated Nanny Needed in Books
Apr 28, 2022
Sarah is up to her eyes in debt and when she comes across an advert for a job as a nanny which could be the answer to her troubles, she jumps at the chance but if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is!!!!
Sarah quickly discovers that the people she is working for a little bit odd and as secrets are revealed, she is in too deep to get out.
A very entertaining and engrossing story with a twist that I didn't see coming and with a narrator who does a great job.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK Audio and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

I don't remember much about it, other than the basic outline of the plot.
I do know that this follows the same story, almost beat for beat, and that there was lot of controversy around the casting of Ariel herself (believe it or not) coming up to the time of release.
Having now watched it on Disney Plus, I found it to drag somewhat; more drawn out than it needed to be.
Halle Bailey does silence her critics in the lead role, with Melissa McCarthy's Ursula also lighting up the screen when she is on it, but it feels like if had been extended (in running time, by nearly an hour over the original or so I have read) just because they could!
