Amazing Courtroom Drama
This is the movie that introduced me to the genre that is the courtroom drama. This movie speaks to a lot of issues as well as being extremely well thought out. Tom Cruise really shines in his role in this movie and is especially good in the final act of the film. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a movie buff.

Childhood ruined .. Ive only ever seen the one movie - so I had not a whole lot to go off of, however, this was way more macabre than I had expected and the one line in the book.. the dear ol coveted line - does not exist.. when you weep over a book for doing you wrong. Perhaps I should have read book before seeing movie? meh, I was young and impressionable

Can't complain
I enjoyed this, I don't think the story came across as it did in the book but I was thankful there was more focus on the story behind rather that the sex scenes which I think took a lot from the movies originally. Sometimes I found the acting quite awkward but I think that was part of the way the film is and how they should come across.

Mind bending and such a visual experience
I can understand why people may not enjoy this film but, I found it really captivating. By the end you 're left with more questions than answers after such a mind boggling journey throughout the film. The visuals in it are stunning and the cast is strong. I enjoyed watching this film a lot when I don't usually like sci fi films.

I've seen so many different reviews about this and I can get why people might not like it, but for someone who usually hates films like it I think it was amazing. There s 3 books in the series so I'm wondering if it will have more to come?

Maybe, but probably not since this one was not very well received.

Worth it for the car chase scene alone!
Tarantino's half of Grindhouse (other half Planet Terror , also very good) seems to have been forgotten, but deserves another look.

Kurt Russell carries the weight of the film and has a lot of funny dialogue.

The car chase scene as well as some of the barroom bits are worth watching. I actually really liked this movie.

This is the sixth book in the series and the storylines and mysteries continue to develop.

We are starting to see more of a global view of the Talented. As well as discovering more about the creation drug and it’s effects.

I am still a bit lost as to how this series is going to go which is good, there seems to be a lot of characters and possibilities at play.

Acting was top notch; especially Sissy Spacek who needs to win an Emmy for this role
The Gordy side story. So darkly funny!
Why doesn’t everyone just move away?!
Lots of plot holes and WTF is going on moments. I was riveted through the whole thing, but it feels a lot like they were trying to do too much and the show really suffered for it.

lack of progressive romance, grammatical errors, repeat dialogue (0 more)
Good read but, as I've said of the previous four books, there is a lot of repeat dialogue/actions as well as grammatical errors. The story was really action packed despite that but I'm a little put off by the lack of follow through in the romance department. Hoping it picks up in the next book.

I love the mix of styles and eras. The variety is amazing from Gregorian Chants to today's top hits. (0 more)
It used to have an app on Samsung tv where I could play my playlists over the TV. Not anymore. :( A lot of people say 10 bucks a month is very high. But there is so much entertainment in this app, I consider it worth it. (0 more)
My favorite music/podcast app!!
  
Cinda Williams Chima is the best author I have found in a long time. The problem with many fantasy novels is that they often tend to drag a lot towards the middle, especially during the fight scenes. This is not the case with this author, who offers exciting twists around every corner and a plethora of hilarious metaphors. This book is a must read for any fantasy lover.
