Dark and Gritty
I am a fan of Paul Finch and love Lucy as a strong, female character who takes no prisoners. Here she finds herself in the midst of a pretty grim series of what initially appear to be a series of unconnected events but they quickly turn into a nightmare investigation. This is where I need to warn you that this book does contain scenes of animal cruelty and abuse ... it also contains scenes of human cruelty! Both are hard to read.
Dark, gritty, exciting, full of tension and suspense, well written with a cast of brilliant characters, this is a great addition to the series and one I would happily recommend.
This is the third book in the series and although can be read as a standalone, to get the best out of it, I would recommend you read them in order so that you get the back story to the characters ... you won't be disappointed.
My thanks go to Avon Books UK via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Great fight scenes
Good 80's soundtrack
Explosive action
A good action film with some great action scenes. The fights are awesome, gritty and well edited. It's not surprising from the same director as @John Wick (2014), this has a similar slick visual style to it. Charlize Thereon looks stunning and really gave her all in the action scenes. The plot can be a bit confusing with a lot of double crossing but overall it's an enjoyable stylish film.

I really enjoyed this film. I loved the way that it explored the gritty streets of Victorian London and the acting is superb, especially from Olivia Cooke and Bill Nighy. The ending is a little predictable but I don't feel this ruins the film as it is still extremely well done and extremely clever. Just a warning though there is a lot of gore and violence. So if you're not a fan of that stuff then be aware what you're in for.

Bizarre
No wonder this went straight to DVD in the UK. It is a gritty, raw film with some graphic, brutal violence....as you would expect. However the film does just feel a bit of a mess overall and a big disappointment after the great 2007 remake of the original Halloween film was done so well. The visions of his Mum at least offer an idea in to Michael's mind but the film just seemed all over the place at times.

Brilliant British Film
A great British film, gritty and hard hitting and made on a shoe string budget. It doesn't matter, the story and acting make this a very powerful film and it deserves all the awards and accolades it has received.

A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.
