Good revenge thriller
An often overlooked film with an all star cast, about a tale of revenge. Mel has to deal with con artists, bent cops, organised crime bosses and Lucy Liu as a domanatrix to get revenge on those who double crossed him. Quite violent at times but a cracking film. You'll like it if you enjoyed A history of violence or Running scared.

This crime thriller was just ok. I wasn't sure what to expect of it (it was listed as horror) but it was pretty much what the description tells you. Decent storyline with some good acting. A little predictable in some parts, but not so much it ruins the story. Pay attention, however, or you may end up confused. Overall this one is worth a watch.

I watch a lot of crime documentaries (even at this very moment), and this series definitely stayed with me. I was determined to be objective with all of the evidence, and yes, this was fairly biased. It was very well done, and completely engrossing.
The only thing that befuddled me is why Avery and Dassey didn't just ask for lawyers from the very start. Whyyyy?

Mar 7, 2018
A great action/crime thriller as a rookie cop joins the LA narcotics unit and has a memorable day in many ways. It's a very good film with some great actors and a decent story. It is quite violent at times, quite weird in places but has a tense great ending I really enjoyed. The same director recently done Brooklyn's Finest also worth checking out!

Mar 9, 2018
The collection of the first three Chocoholic mysteries plus the short story that was set and released before the series started. If you haven't started the series, this might be the place to start. The stories are light but fun and the characters are great.

This book takes the characters to New York City where they find fairy tale characters living in hiding. While they try to heal a friend, they get involved in a murder. This series may be for kids, but I just love the creativity each book shows.

Mar 9, 2018
The idea of moving the Arts Festival downtown stirs up trouble, including arson and murder. Can Abby get her feet under her running a new business and solve the crime? I liked the characters and setting, but the plot was a little rough.

Never a dull moment, great characters.. a tough one to put down!
My first book by this author and I'll surely be back to catch up on more of Dan & Cody's previous encounters! This is an awesome book for any crime/action lovers out there that kept me sucked in from page one. Never a dull moment, great characters.. a tough one to put down!

Great!
This movie was chock full of surprises. I really enjoyed it. Great acting, wonderful cinematography and the story played ot beautifully. Full of ups and downs, twists and turns it keeps you guessing who's who and what will happen next with each scene. If you enjoy crime thrillers told in a "crossroads meeting" kind of style you'll really enjoy this one. Really worth a watch!
