"A true diva and genius, of course. This is one the best autobiographies I've ever read, recounting Simone’s upbringing in North Carolina in a non-segregated community; her schooling as a child prodigy by a Russian grand dame piano teacher; playing rough bars in evening dress and telling the winos to shut up or she wouldn't play (and they did!); to the absolute shock when she didn't get into Juilliard because of her color. By the time she's describing writing “Mississippi Goddam,” all my hairs were standing on end! A powerful woman, powerful activist, and amazing musician."

Full on Action
A fun full on non stop action film, once it gets going to the main story. From the director of @Hardcore Henry (2016) and it shows as this is is a similar vein. A bit like the John Wick films as a guy goes up against the odds a Russian Gang seek revenge. I like Bob Odenkirk but this is very different to his Saul role in Breaking Bad and the spin off, little hard to see him as a lethal weapon. One for action fans to enjoy.
