Some would say this is among Stallone's finest performance's as he plays against type in this slow burning thriller which gives him room to actually act and react as the partially deaf cop.
The ensemble cast is also full of great actors, this film is worthy of your time if only to see the other side of of a well established action star.

A very good action/thriller with a great cast and strong story based on a book about real SAS events in the 80's. Certainly a level above most of Jason Statham's recent action films which keep being churned out very often. If you like a bit of depth to back up the action this is the film for you.

Blind mechanic Cadence Moran is walking home from work one night when she "witnesses" a murder. Trying to help the police only attracts the killer's attention. I found the story frustratingly slow for a thriller and the ending completely unbelievable.

A Great 'Escape'
Meltzer opens the novel with an interesting twist, and the turns and twists keep coming. He is able to write an intriguing thriller and keep us interested in the characters as well. This novel sold so many copies that in its third week after the release, Amazon ran out of copies.

OK Drama
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. I thought it might be more along the lines of an invasion thriller. It's purely a drama though as America loses all power and a family try to get by with what they can with their home in the Forest. Interesting to start with but it doesn't really go anywhere to be honest.
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Death's Last Run (Clare Vengel Undercover, #3) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Well written with each chapter dedicated to a character (which I liked). I didn't know "who dunnit" till the end but I got more thrills knowing I was near the end. Bit of a slog for me nothing much happened until the last third of the book, it was disappointing as I expected this to be more of a thriller.

Dean (6926 KP) rated The Skulls (2000) in Movies
Jun 10, 2018
A good young cast, including a very young Paul Walker. It's a decent conspiracy thriller about a secret society that picks the best students from the top universities. After a friends apparent suicide on campus though, is there more to this elite group. It's entertaining, and has a strong cast line up, locations and action. If you like thrillers check this out.

Happens in Vermont!
VT author - wonderful thriller
Loved this book! I picked it up because there aren't that many Vermont authors that get very popular, but McMahon has definitely been getting popularity. I couldn't put this book down after I started reading it, and I couldn't read it in the dark alone! Definitely a good sign.
Give it a try!

All aboard
A good revival of the old thriller aboard a train film. It starts fairly slow but the second half soon intensifies with a mix of suspense, action and tone. It will grip you and draw you in, wondering what twist will come next. A solid cast give good performances and the setting and location add to the drama of the film.

Action packed thriller
This book was amazing! Not since Jack Reacher and Vanessa “Michael” Munro has there been a character like Eva Driscoll. This novel was an action packed page turner that I could not put down. I can’t wait to find out what else is in store for her and for us!
