Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Colours of Death in Books
Jun 20, 2021
I don't read a lot of supernatural books so this almost passed me by but I'm so glad I took a chance to read something a bit different because it's thoroughly absorbing and enjoyable.
With great characters that you quickly become invested in, well paced, a great setting and an intriguing and unique plot, this is a great book which I found entertaining and gripping.
This is, I believe, the start of a series and I for one am looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future.
Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton via NetGalley for inviting me to read and review The Colours of Death; this is no way affected or influenced my review in anyway.

Bleak but compelling: this film was made in 2018 and 2019, but its concern with race, poverty, police brutality and the abuse of power means it feels very timely. Gripping plot and strong performances result in a film which is frequently tense even if it's seldom reassuring. The climax is as strong a condemnation of the failure of the young by wider social structures as I can remember seeing. A powerful and serious film, but also a very satisfying piece of entertainment.

A lovely little film and I specifically have three things to say about it.
1) It has possibly the best dance off of any film I've seen. You've not lived until you've seen bulls and horses have a dance battle.
2) It has possibly the best chase scene of any film I've seen. You've not lived until you've seen bulls running through traffic followed by men on segways.
3) Why on earth is there one member of the Spanish police force in this film that has a decidedly un-Spanishy accent?!

Aug 16, 2020
Body Cam follows a veteran police officer who is coping with the unexpected loss of her young son. She is assigned to patrol with a newer recruit when the cards come crumbling down and revelations begin to unfold in rapid succession.
There were some elements that I won't go into too much detail about so that I don't spoil anything for anyone, but I will say that if you have been putting off watching this movie for the same reason I did, don't. It's not remotely the same and it's actually quite good in its own rite.
