Amy (29 KP) rated A Quiet Place (2018) in Movies
Jan 27, 2019
The suspense of this film is what makes it good. I literally held my breathe most of the way through the film and at the end let out a massive "ahhhh"
Such an original story, I didn't expect what happened in it, which is a bonus. The only down fall I would say is it seemed to end quite abruptly, like it could of carried on for at least another 10/20 mins at least.

Karin is good at suspense; heck, not good, great. But I felt so much frustration with this book. I just wanted to know. Each misleading piece of information made me more irritated. Angie's return had my teeth clenching - I really do not like that woman. I liked Undone, but it's not my favorite Slaughter/Will Trent book and I can only hope I don't feel the same way about the next installment.

Bit too slow (1 more)
Very predictable
Billed as a thriller of sorts but with no real suspense. A night clerk at a hotel with aspergers witnesses a murder on camera's he has hidden in the room.
The plot was far too simple and obvious who the killer was and the whole middle section goes off track on a love story side plot. The two lead actors stand out but overall the result was disappointing.

Molly J (Cover To Cover Cafe) (106 KP) rated Pursued (Nikki Boyd Files #3) in Books

Holy smokes! Ms. Harris is a FABULOUS thrilling, suspense author. Her book had it all. I mean all. It had the thrills of suspense, the chilling twists, the roller coaster ups and the breath taking romance that makes up a well rounded, beautifully written romantic suspense novel.
The characters within this book are perfectly chiseled. They are real-to-life and complexly portrayed in this thriller. Nikki, Erika, Tyler and the other secondary characters really pulled me into the heart of the story with them. Every fast paced move, every heart pounding scene truly came to life for me. I loved that!
Ms. Harris had me on the edge of the my seat through this whole book. I read it in one intense sitting! That is how a book is written, that's for sure. She added the perfect amount of messages from God and kept the story line flowing. This story is filled with hope and trusting in Him. You need both in today's world!
While this is not the first book in this series, it wasn't hard to get acquainted with the characters and their stories. But, I will for sure be checking out the first two books in the series as well as looking forward to the next installment! Ms. Harris, you are truly, superbly talented and I give this book a whopping 5 star praise and roof-top-shouting recommendations. <a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/revell-reads-review-pursued-by-lisa-harris/"; target="_blank">This review was originally posted on Cafinated Reads</a>

We've Seen This Done Before: A Dozen Times
Firewall- is a movie, that I fell like I've seen, watched oe heard of before. Thats because it is. Cause you will get these types of movies mixed up. Hostage and negotitation movies, cause their all the same.
If you like or seen "John Q", "Hostage", "Inside Man", "The Town", "The Negotitaor" and "Money Monster". Than you kinda of like this one. The Problem is that, movies like "Inside Man", "The Town" and "John Q" are better. The other problem with this one is that, the final battle just ends so quickly, badly and pointless. Like the bad guy just dies and than boom end. What?? The whole movie was building up suspense between the main charcter and bad guy, and than he just dies with one hit/blow and thats it. The whole movie felt pointless, because of that. The whole suspense just gone, you felt nothing. Felt like the whole movie was pointless and it was.
The plot: Bank security expert Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) builds a career on his expertise in designing theft-proof computer systems for financial institutions. However, a criminal mastermind (Paul Bettany) kidnaps his family, and he must work feverishly to find a way to break into his own system and steal $100 million, for the lives of his loved ones hang in the balance.
Paul Bettany was excellet as the villian.
Other than that, this movie is a decent suspense thriller and that has a bad ending that makes this whole movie pointless.
