A retro tale of revenge
Not everyone loved Mafia 2, but I did. I thought the story at the time was one of the best that I had ever played through, so I was extremely excited to get my hands on the third outing.
When the game was released though, I held off buying it as all I heard was how it was full of glitches and bugs. After a couple of months and a few updates, I eventually got round to playing it
Unfortunately Lincoln's story isn't as interesting as Vito's was. This is still a decent gangster story, but it is to Mafia 2 what Black Mass is to Goodfellas. They are both pretty good but one is a league above the other.

this is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. this is a fun, sexy read that you wont want to put it down. this is the story about a dark hero with a stronger female character. this book is full of adventure, hot steamy scenes and revenge in the plot keep a hold of you till the end. this book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat till the end of the book. the characters are fab and you will fall in love with them as you read the book. the characters have lots of great chemistry in the story. i cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

This book was utterly beautiful. I don't normally think of books as being beautiful but the story that was spun in this book just tugged at those heart strings and made me both sad and happy.

The story of the three sisters coming back every summer for their revenge was so captivating. I had a feeling I knew where the story as headed and what was going to happen, but then you read it, and you just think...this is unreal.

Bo was a catalyst in a long string of events and everyone deserves their happy ending - but this one left me speechless - talk about a book hangover.

I just loved it too much for it's own good - 110% recommend.

Mermaids? not quite - sirens.. maybe .. my brain is still whirling

Bad
This movie was hard to get through. It's a revenge movie that takes place in the eighties(ok), was made within the last year(it's 2018!), but everything about it screams 70s. The acting(so bad), cinematography, the storyline. Even the animated sequences. It had some violent scenes that looked straight out of a 70s movie as well. I don't expect perfection, but it's 2018, even a low budget film can be done well. They tried to use lighting effects to make it seem more "visual", but again, felt straight out of a 70s flick. The soundtrack was decent enough... for a 70s horror film. Anyway, I guess I just expect(hope for?) better from a movie these days. Sorry, this inne is not worth a watch.

I had avoided this film up until now being put off by the awful title and hearing about Ben Kingsley's insistence of being called Sir on the poster and the credits. Stylistically it's a bit of a poor mans 'Lock Stock' but its not actually a bad film at all. A tale of mistaken identity , revenge and multiple double crossings it's quite compelling storytelling (if a tad convoluted at times) and I liked how it all came together and even explained the awful title. The cast all put in good performances but barring Lucy Liu's bubbly character are a thoroughly unlikable group of assorted villains and scum bags. All in all not sure if I would come back and re watch it but its certainly worth a couple of hours of your time.
