Hazel (2934 KP) rated Dance with the Enemy (The Enemy #1) in Books

Apr 5, 2020

Yet another of the books from my "to be read" pile and, once again, why oh why did I leave it so late to read this ... what an absolute scintillating read this is!

From start to finish, I was on the edge of my seat ... it's engaging, exciting, thrilling, fast-paced and totally entertaining. Logan is a brilliant character; flawed and damaged but brave and loyal; I was completely drawn into his story and can't wait to read the second instalment, Rise of the Enemy.

If you like Jason Bourne, you will love this and with plenty of action, violence and scenes of peril with a little bit of love interest thrown in, this is a book that won't disappoint.

Belated thanks go to Clink Street Publishing and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) in Movies

Apr 12, 2020

Movie telling the life story of Bruce Lee can be a little bland and hagiographical but has energy, sincerity, and a big fight sequence every fifteen minutes or so, which is all you really want where Lee is concerned. Bruce Lee is kicked out of Hong Kong (for fighting), loses his job in San Francisco (for fighting), starts his own successful business (teaching fighting) and starts a new career (fighting in the movies). Did I mention there are a lot of fights in the movie?

You would be forgiven for taking much of this film with a pinch of salt, but Jason Scott Lee is very engaging, as is Lauren Holly, and its heart is certainly in the right place. Really good fight choreography too. Best not taken too seriously, but very watchable if kung fu movies are your thing.
