Adverse is a film that has some excellent surprises throughout the film, it can be emotional at times with some of the flashbacks and brutal at others with some of the action sequences that aren’t afraid to throw some of the red stuff about. This is certainly a film worth checking out.

This is, essentially, a 2 (and a bit) hour long chase movie, with cops chasing after a hijacked LA ambulance with 2 of the robbers on board - alongside a paramedic being held hostage and a shot cop bleeding out in the back - after a failed bank robbery.
It's all very American (and sun drenched) - the amount of collateral damage and shooting going on would never happen anywhere else in the world (yes, I know it's a movie) - with Jake Gyllenhall in particular putting in a pretty unhinged performance as one of the two robbers.
One of those 'watch and forget' style action movies.

Only I didn’t enjoy it to the point where I got halfway through and couldn’t finish it. I wasn’t even sure whether to post the review because I know that lots of people will disagree with me over this.
I was so excited for a book to be out that’s about police brutality in America towards black teenagers, and was surprised, to begin with, that something as serious as this was in a YA book, but also happy that it was being told to teenagers. It sounded like my ideal book.
But I just couldn’t get along with it at all. The whole idea with the book is to show what casual racism is doing to America, but at the same time on every few pages, there’s another part talking about how horrible and funny and evil white people are. If a book wants to make a stand against racism, make a stand against it from both sides, not just one. You cannot end racism by calling the other race.
I just found it really one-sided in its battle against racism. I am definitely not saying that the police shooting was right, let me just say that, and Starr has every right to hate the police for shooting her best friend. However, this does not mean that every few pages there needs to be a comment about how awful white people are.
A much healthier focus for the book would have been equality, not switching the racism to the other side in a ‘how-do-you-like-it-now’ move.

Told from three separate character perspectives –
Ben is a young boy who is the sole survivor of a mass shooting that killed his mother and friends. He appears to have been, understandably, severely affected by the trauma of the shooting and is now insisting his name is Leo. The hospital is desperate to try to find out who he really is so they can get him the help that he needs and, through hypnosis, we get to learn more about Leo and his connection to the story.
Lucy is the ER doctor that treats Ben at the hospital when he is brought in after his traumatic ordeal. Lucy is very competent in her job, regularly left in charge of the department and highly regarded in her role. Her personal life is the opposite and with her marriage on the brink of falling apart she has taken to sleeping at the hospital just to avoid going home.
Clare is a resident at a nursing home who has won an award that she doesn’t want as she is worried her long-buried past will be uncovered. She appears to be a grumpy old woman who just wants to be left alone to live out the rest of her life in peace. She reluctantly makes friends with a new resident Gloria and through her, we hear about Clare’s amazing life story spanning almost a hundred years.
Through each of their individual stories, we learn a lot about each character and the way that they are connected to each other. The writing is absolutely beautiful, the stories are brilliantly interwoven and the whole story is moving, heartwarming and uplifting in equal measure. Not my usual genre, but I am so glad I read it.
