Dean (6927 KP) rated City Of God (2002) in Movies

A great story
A great film based on a true story of the life of a group of friends growing up in the slums of Rio. Drawn into a violent life of crime, drugs and murder from a young age. The way it charts the life of the friends and brothers through the years and how their actions effect them in the future is very well done. A very entertaining film!
BookCritics (259 KP) rated Magpie Murders in Books
Jun 12, 2017
I recommend this to you if you’ve read quite some Agatha Christie and appreciate a crime novel inspired by her work. She is mentioned quite a lot in the book, so if you don’t know the author or don’t like her books, I think you’ll find this irritating.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Fortitude - Season 2 in TV
Jul 23, 2017
Not for the squeamish (1 more)
Not as good as the first season
Even weirder 2nd series
Even stranger 2nd series with a storyline that walks along a line of scientific or Supernatural explanation. Still has some big twists and even gorier than the first. If you like strange crime dramas in picturesque locations with a good cast check it out.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Triangle of Deception in Books
Apr 27, 2018
Triangle of Deception is one of those sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat books. It’s book four of a series but it makes a wonderful standalone. I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving anything away! Fast paced, energetic, and exciting, this is one that any crime-thriller lover won’t want to miss.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2646 KP) rated The Puzzle Lady vs. The Sudoku Lady (Puzzle Lady #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora Felton meets her Japanese counterpart as a mysterious death happens in town. Now it's a race for honor to solve the crime. There's plenty of humor in this book, and the story is pretty good. But the characters are getting stale, especially Dennis. Enjoyable, but most for the fans.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Heavenly Creatures (1994) in Movies
Feb 24, 2018
Hmmm well it seems I'm in the minority but to call this a masterpiece is way off the mark for me. This was just a bit too surreal and odd. Based on a true crime in New Zealand in the 50's. It gets very strange later on as the relationship and madness intensifies! If you like wacky films or odd dramas you might love it, but it's not for me.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Brooklyn's Finest (2010) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
A very good cop/crime action thriller film with an impressive cast. The main story follows 3 New York cops and the pressure each one is under working in one of the worst areas of the city. Full of drugs, guns, prostitution and various gangs that are on every corner. If you like some of the similar films you should like this. It has plenty of action and a grandstand finish!
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Josh (The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch #7) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Josh is the seventh book in The Lawmen Of Silver Creek Ranch Series. Ive enjoyed all of the previous books but this was lacking the romance and excitement i've come to expect. Thankfully not as many "Oh Mercy" 's in this story, which drove me mad in Delores other books but too many telephone calls in this, Josh spends most of his time on the phone than solving the crime.

Great!
This one was on Netflix(not exclusive). An awesome crime thriller that is full of twists and turns in the story. Charlize Theron was (as always) amazing, as was the rest of the cast. The cinematography was great and the story unfolded with a slow churning intensity. Some mild violence, but otherwise nothing too bad for kids. However, I'd say it's more of an adult tale. Really worth a watch!
