Nate Overbay is all ready to commit suicide when he stumbles on a bank robbery. But this wasn't an ordinary bank robbery, and suddenly he has some nasty men after his estranged family. Can he figure out a way to save them?

While it wasn't quite the heart pounding suspense I was expecting, I enjoyed the book more as a result. The characters were richer and the writing so good it brought every scene to life. This is a thriller with characters you truly care about, and it is better as a result.

Meh
This one on Netflix is labeled a horror movie but it's not scary at all. The cinematography was ok. The acting was mediocre. The effects were basically just run of the mill gore. The story was weak. Seems this movie was made just to have a bunch of people mutilating themselves in different ways. Supposed to be truth or dare but it was almost all "dares" or rather, "commands". There really was no plot of any kind. And when it was "explained" by a previous survivor of the game, she knew things that she couldn't have possibly known just from "playing the game". Poor excuse for a movie. Not really worth a watch.

I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!

Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.

Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.

This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!

Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.

Never Out of the Fight
Lone Survivor- is a intense action thriller thats based on a true story. Its slow at first, but around halfway in, it gets good.

The plot:In 2005 Afghanistan, Navy SEALs Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch) and Matthew "Axe" Axelson (Ben Foster) deploy on a mission of surveillance and to take out Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. Though spotted by goatherds, Luttrell and his team decide not to kill them. But one of the Afghans alerts a group of Taliban fighters to the invaders, and a terrible battle ensues, in which the SEALs find themselves hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned.

Its a must see film.
