A nice pacy thriller

I enjoyed this interesting thriller after discovering it on Netflix. The brilliant Naomi Rapace is in great form as the bodyguard assigned to protect the daughter of a rich man whose company is bidding to buy land that is also being bid on buy another rival firm. Lots of action and plot twists make this well worth watching as the two of them must fight against the odds to uncover who is behind the conspiracy and assassination attempts on the girl.

Literally everything about this book was good. The character development, the plot and twists, and the ending. (0 more)
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.
  
The Hunter’s Prayer (2017)
The Hunter’s Prayer (2017)
2017 | Action
Sam Worthington pushes himself as an assassin hired to kill a teenage girl as he struggles to face his own demons - addiction, his past as a soldier, and his lack of relationship with his own teenage daughter. The movie is action from start to finish with not a lot of great suspense or unexpected plot twists. However, for an action flick, its rather mild presentation (minimal swearing, not overly graphic, no unnecessary sexual content) plus the realistic potrayal of the emotions the hunter and the hunted must work through, this is an enjoyable movie!

A Kevin Smith flop
The story of two Canadian retail mart workers who live for their music, phones and of course yoga have their way of life threatened by evil bratwurst (the Bratties) that of course are nazi's who are trying to come back from the dead and take over the world.

This movie stars Kevin's Smith's daughter and the entire movie is dumb and not worth the time or the film it was put on. The only moive that Smith has been a part of that I disliked.

My favorite bond movie not perfect by any means its a shame that geroge lazenby only did one bond film. The plot follows the book perfectly as blofeld plans to use is angels of death contaminte crops and animals but only bond can only stop him and finds time to fall in lovewith tracey daughter of local crook.
It also has the perfect love song from louis armstrong. And telly savalas as blofeld and the ending still gets me

This book is somewhat a tear emotions for just about what going to happen. Devlin still need to come to terms with his guilt and he need to step up when he told something. For there several surprises in this book I do not want to give them away.
