"For me it is one of the most brilliant Mafia movies. Moreover it's the incarnation of the mythical erotic-romantic-tragic relationship between men and women. Beginning with love and ending with death. Isn't it the best description of this endless men-and-women love-hate system? And it's one of the best films about family as well. The protecting nest as miserable, dark shelter from an even darker existence of solitude."

"After the sudden death of her father, Helen Macdonald managed her grief by taming a goshawk. The wild un-language of grief finds expression here. And there’s more; our relationship with creatures not us. How we read the past without re-writing it. How we learn to love – and why we might not want to do that. Painful, remarkable, redemptive, this book hovers over my heart and suddenly drops on it. Caught."

Female Taken
Finally saw this, currently on Netflix. I like Jennifer Garner and she is quite good in this typical revenge action film. It has some good action scenes but it's fairly by the numbers stuff. Very cliche and the main problem is that it has been done better many times before whether it's Taken, Death Sentence, Equaliser, you get the idea. A fun watch though but nothing original.
