Amazing action scenes
Great soundtrack
Slated by critics? However this is a moving film based around the events of Pear Harbour. It may take the story in the direction of two friends who grow up together to become pilots and fall for the same woman, but an underlying love story didn't cause Titanic any problems? The SFX are amazing and the bombing of Pearl Harbour is done on a huge scale and saddening to watch. This is a true epic of a film, artistically shot, well directed and with great lead actors which handle the tragic event so well.

From the same director as Black Water about a Alligator menacing a group of stranded people in the outback. We have this survival thriller about a group of friends whose boat is capsized and after some decide to swim encounter a great white shark. Apparently based on true events...
It does feel very similar to both Open water and Adrift but has a bit more action I felt. Definitely not as slowly paced as Open water. Given the subject matter, this is about as good as this type of film can get. It won't be for everyone.

I didn't know much about this film before I saw it but heard critics and fans a like giving great reviews about it. A father and former part of the military police goes in search of his son who has gone AWOL after returning home from Iraq.
This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.

I love all films that are based on true stories and this one is no exception.A powerful and gripping movie that depicts the horrific events that unfolded in the streets and then in the hotel.

The depiction of the hotel staff who stayed behind to protect the guests as best they could was excellent (special mention to Dev Patel and Anupam Ker for their immense performances)

This is one of those movies that didn't get alot of coverage up to its release and probably went unnoticed by alot of people but it is essential viewing.

Broken isn't my favorite Slaughter book, nor is it my favorite Trent book. However, I enjoyed it much more than Undone. It didn't feel quite as long or tedious. The murderer and circumstances of the events were a little hard to accept, but all-in-all, it was enjoyable. I like the fact I can focus on a few different plot lines: Will and Angie's relationship, Faith with her baby girl, and now the true history between Sara and Lena. Broken wasn't very gruesome and it felt more oriented around the characters' lives instead of their case - that was a nice change.
