Lots of twists, interesting plot, claustrophobic
Mark Edwards' crime thriller is interesting because there is a massive psychological element to it. At times it is claustrophobic, especially as the protagonist continues to believe her assistant is plotting to overthrow her. While it does become slightly over the top, it's still gripping and engaging.

I'm really enjoying where this series is going. This particular issue was very good even if it did feel like it was missing that "X Factor". I really enjoyed the Mission Impossible spy thriller feel that the book is taking on and I'm really excited to see where it will continue to go.

I was late to the table having only recently watched this gripping and monstrous psychological thriller, Jodie Foster as the FBI agent in training needing Hannibal Lecter's insight into a case, Hopkins plays the manipulative cannibal with aplomb and you fear for Clarice at every turn. Top quality scares in this one.

Pointless update
The original is a great action / thriller and while this isn't a straight re-make scene for scene it does keep a lot of the key plotlines from the original. Overall it was just average with some good extreme sports scenes but the plot was just a bit silly at times.

I'm not a big fan of Angelina Jolie to be honest. However I still found this a good spy action/thriller. It has tons of action, stunts, chases, shootouts and a few twists a long the way all packed into 90 minutes. A good entertaining action flick if nothing new or outstanding.

A very well made film with great visuals, locations. All very artistic, but the actual stroy is quite straight forward. It does get a bit odd towards the end. A good drama and by no means is this a horror or thriller if having Murderer in the title made you think that.

I know some people said they saw the end coming but I actually didn't. I enjoyed figuring out the end as the characters themselves did. The characters and their development and the story was done very well. It's a good YA thriller but nothing uniquely good or bad about it
