Good story
Cool French action thriller
A decent French action film I stumbled upon. Likened to Taken it was very good, with a simple plot with some good twists. The action doesn't let up and tension builds very quickly.

A good film with an interesting if far fetched plot. It has a decent cast and a few good twist and turns. Not as much action as I thought more of a thriller towards the end. However still enjoyable overall.

Really true thriller
I really enjoyed the second book to the bill Hodges ret-det story. I thought there was a lot of heartbreak and turmoil involved but I still really enjoyed it. Now reading the final chapter of bill hodges.

Jim Carrey in a very different role (0 more)
Surprisingly good
A very good thriller with Jim Carrey doing very well in a non-comic role for a change! If you like Stir of Echoes, Secret Window you should like this too!

B.A. Paris’s new thriller does not disappoint. Although the ending was a bit lackluster and the main twist highly improbable, it was still an entertaining page turner. Fantastic beach read and exactly what we’ve come to expect from a great author!
