Good old style shoot 'em thriller
A fairly plain and simple action thriller, with over the top characters. Almost like a comic book adaption with a retro twist. A man on the run gets arrested hoping that will keep him safe. The hitmen on his tail have other ideas.
It's a little slow to getting going but it's not long before the chaos ensues and the bullets flying everywhere. Funny in places and Alexis Louder was impressive in her role. One to switch the brain off to and just enjoy the show.

Decent Thriller
Definitely more thriller than a horror, Slasher film. A mix of Stranger Things crossed with Disturbia. A group of friends spy on their cop neighbour and suspect he could be a local serial killer.
A slow burner with very little horror for the most part. Features more on the friendship as they spend the summer spying on their neighbour to try and find evidence if he could be a serial killer. Their friendship is the strong part of the film. So if you like the other shows mentioned you should enjoy this.

Who is watching who?
A decent, intelligent thriller that feels like an old classic. Slight Hitchcock vibes in places. A woman moves with her husband to Romania and is often alone throughout the day and not knowing the language feels isolated. While people watching from the her window she notices a figure watching her.
A very nice looking film, great photography. It's a slow burn and feels like a longer film but makes the every day things feel tense when you feel you are being watched. Well worth checking out.

True Detective vibe
Slow burn Thriller
A good interesting serial killer thriller that is a slow burn and thought provoking. Definitely a bit different from the normal direction of this genre, but that only comes apparent about half way through. If you like True Detective you should enjoy this but it's definitely not an open and shut case of cat and mouse you normally find with this genre. It's just the ending which is good but also a bit unfulfilling that is a slight let down. The cast keep your interest though especially Jared Leto as the creepy suspect.

An enjoyable and easy read from an author I look forward to reading.

This was a good thriller that kept me engaged throughout. The plot was intriguing and the pace was just right but the characters weren't particularly likeable and the excitement just wasn't there for me unfortunately. The first half of the book was great but things waned a bit in the second half before increasing again towards the end.

Overall, a good easy-to-read thriller and thanks must go to Canelo and NetGalley for enabling me to read One Fatal Secret and share my thoughts.
