Raw and gritty action
Brilliant cop drama
A great buddy cop drama that has a real dramatic level of realism. It's largely the story of a pair of cops on duty in a tough part of L.A as seen through their bodycams, squad car dashboard and other cctv footage. The acting is spot on and the finale will have you on the edge of your seat. One of the best of it's genre I've seen in years!

One of the weaker Bond films
A very good action film continuing right on from Casino Royale. Plenty of action, chases and explosions. Has a certain Bourne Trilogy feel to a lot of the stunts and fights. The Bond films now are more gritty, raw without the tongue in cheek humour of the past films. One for all out action entertainment but not the best story for a Bond film.

A very good film, although I had hoped for something a little bit more after the trailer. It's more of an action/drama dealing with the drug trade in the slums of Rio in Brazil. It has a good story and is well made and shot with a fair share of brutal, violent action scenes. Almost feels like a documentary at times it has that raw feel about it. From the same director as City of God.

Very honest portrayal of mental issues (1 more)
The characters were written in a believable way
This was my first experience reading a John Green book and I was not disappointed. It had some many good written moments, the story flowed wonderfully, and it didn't end in the stereotypical way I had expected it would.
Green's portrayal of mental issues was spot on and he did nothing to romanticize them. He expressed them in a real, raw way that I appreciated.
