Remember when this series was a GTA clone, telling a semi series crime story? Some people say that Saints Row has jumped the shark at this point, but I still have fun with these games. If you are looking for a deeper, more serious open world crime game, then you can go play GTA or Mafia, but if you want mindless fun and crass humour and plenty of random violence, then you should pick this one up. It's essentially more of Saints Row 3, but with added superpowers and aliens. It also works as a satirical parody on modern video games and pokes fun at its peers with a wink and a nod.

Awesome script.
Serious underworld thriller
Ronin is a mysterious and serious crime type thriller which takes the viewers into the arena of the crime underworld. An seemingly ex CIA agent named Sam (De Niro) throws his lot in with a group brought together by an Irish Terrorist played by Natascha McElhone. Their task is to steal a suitcase from a dangerous Russian gang. Unfortunately not all goes to plan. There are two great stand out performances by De Niro and Jean Reno but, I thought McElhone and Sean Bean were very good also. There is great action and an especially fast car scene that has Sean Bean spill his lunch. An excellent film.

Mostly interesting, there were a few drier spots, but luckily they weren't excruciatingly long or anything. I don't find Summerscale's writing inspiring but overall it's fine. I appreciate how she followed the story through all the research she did, which must have been painstaking. Definitely a curious read, with plenty of notes and resources listed in the back. For a readalong, I'd recommend [b:The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime|16045108|The Invention of Murder How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime|Judith Flanders|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1367749663s/16045108.jpg|14980279], which is excellent and never boring.

Lighthearted, great banter, with recaps of murders that the hosts have researched and retell in their own unique personality. Kindness, crime, foul language and lots of laughs. (0 more)
Everything is great about this one. (0 more)
Hysterical, and a little eerie.
Two true friends with a passion for true crime take an oftentimes hysterical, but also sad and somber look at murder cases over the centuries. It's a great, quick, lightweight fix for folks who enjoyed Dirty John, Wrongful Conviction, and This American Life. It's light on the editing, and high on the community connection. They also poke at things that are creepy and while not all the murders have resolution, there's always something interesting and nothing that'll give you nightmares.
