A contemplative zombie movie
It's been a long time since a 28 Days Later style zombie movie was out. It's more thought-provoking than an all out gorefest. The movie is watchable, although not my favourite genre. However, the acting was a little clunky. Only the slightly more polished actors Glenn Close and Paddy Considine really made a difference. Gemma Arterton is a pretty bad actress, she seemed robotic the entire time.

Nice twist on the usual action films
A film about a smart mouthed defence lawyer whose wife and daughter are murdered. Its a revenge thriller with a difference. Instead of shouting his mouth off Antonia Banderas vows to remain silent until the killer or killers are brought to justice. No army training or previous fighting experience, just a lawyer wanting revenge. A good supporting cast makes this well worth a watch.

Be warned: ""Blade Runner, the movie"" this is not!

The novel is a lot deeper and, although there are familiar characters and situations, there's also a lot more going on in the background. What I found as being perhaps the most striking difference in the future (as in the movie) is depicted as being overcrowded and industrialised; here the earth is instead run down and decayed. Both novel and film are enjoyable; each is different.

"As a sixteen-year-old when I first saw it, I was mesmerized, if utterly baffled, by Buñuel’s delightfully told, superbly crafted, and deeply disturbing fable of a young married woman, frigid at home, prostitute by day. Fantasy and reality interplay so freely that it is impossible to know the difference. And it matters not a whit. Love is punishment either way. And Catherine Deneuve’s almost unbearable beauty makes it hurt all the more."

Although an easy read it was not interesting enough for me to not put down and go and do something else or check my phone every couple of chapters.

Like many other reviews have said, there really wasn’t a difference between the two narrators and I sometimes had to check who’s point of view I was reading from.

Good enough to pass some time, but not one that I would recommend to anyone unfortunately.
