It was OK, I did watch the whole film although the ending was guessed about half way through and there are plenty of films out there with similar plot lines. The suspense music does not really work and of course they had to put some lines in as to why Jude Law had an English accent because he can't do any others.

This was a very interesting story. The characters were sweet and amazing. Their love was wonderfully written. Their was truthful suspense and so much interesting things going on. I really enjoyed the way this was written and how everything was put together. This author is a new one for me but I enjoyed her work and would love to read more.

When I first started GOT I had already binge watched the show. I was hoping for answers. I got answers and more! If you love the show the books are even better. However they start a little slow to get into. Once you do its worth it though.

When two women are kidnapped outside of a "fat farm," the race is on to find them. However, the ransom demand is very unusual. Might that be a clue? With vivid characters and great suspense, I raced through this one.

An enjoyable sexy read, only problem I did have was I thought the author skipped vital parts of the book and seemed rushed, like the notebook, there could have been much more suspense and if you wanted me to read the next book then some more details on Tyler and Cole would have been great. All in all a worthy 4 stars.

The suspense and drama of this show will keep you at the edge of your feet wanting more. With death at every turn, mob bosses plotting against them, and a biker club causing trouble it's hard for Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead to get through high school like normal teens. And yes there is some romance brewing within the inner circle.

All aboard
A good revival of the old thriller aboard a train film. It starts fairly slow but the second half soon intensifies with a mix of suspense, action and tone. It will grip you and draw you in, wondering what twist will come next. A solid cast give good performances and the setting and location add to the drama of the film.

Predictable (0 more)
This was a chilling read. Kept the suspense all the way through. Throughout the novel, however, it became predictable as to what would happen. A lot of horror troupes found themselves repeated. There is a lot more to this book than what is presented on the surface. If you're a fan of gothic horror, give this one a shot.

Maybe this was a bit of a let down for me because of the irritating people that were noisy in the cinema. It lost some of its suspense. But at least it was unique and offered something else. I still felt it lacked something but I'm not exactly sure what that was.

"Hitchcock’s best film, for my money. But then any movie with the sinister Ivan Triesault gets my vote. He’s the one who takes Claude Rains in the final moments for his last ride, for us and for Claude. I wonder if, even in real life, the villainous Triesault could smile. The suspense in the wine cellar upsets my nerves every time."
