Nice ideas ok execution
Good to see Sean William Scott doing something other than a fratboy comedy. Taking on a Dexter style role in this film as he works as a social worker at a college. Distributing his own brand of justice.
Low budget and it shows at times. Despite the short run time the film does feel quite slow. Not a bad thriller but could have been much better.

Average Action Film
Rather low budget action film, following the typical Die Hard style plot. A pilot teams up with a Prisoner on escort after the Plane crash lands in dangerous territory.
Some good shoot out action later on but a rather slow build up. The 2 male leads make this watchable though but something you'll be in a rush to book a ticket for.

If you are a fan of the Sergio Leone films then this is certainly a release to have in your collection, it is one of those films that never really got the limelight of its predecessors such as A Fistful of Dollars, but it is a movie that has all the style that Leone brought us with his movies and I still enjoy watching it today.

A Black Mirror-style sci-fi short story collection
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

As I read the description, "A Black Mirror-style sci-fi short story collection about the perils of our virtual reality future - and whether we're already living in it.", I was intrigued. For those that don't know "Black Mirror" is a British TV show that is available on Netflix. "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" and is described by Netflix as a "sci-fi anthology series explores a twisted, high-tech near-future where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide."

Describing "Restricted Fantasies" by Kevin Kneupper as being written in Black Mirror-style is an actuate description. Each stand-alone story in both features its own cast of unique characters. As with "Black Mirror", this is not a collection to sit and read straight through. The stories make you think and mess with your mind. They need to be digested, thought through, and processed.

I do not want to discuss any of the individual stories as I do not want to mention any spoilers. With many of the stories I needed a few hours, if not days, to process. I highly recommend "Restricted Fantasies" to anyone who can read it and process it. I would not recommend reading it in one sitting.
