Dean (6927 KP) rated Femme Fatale (2002) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A pretty decent sultry thriller directed by Brian DePalma. A jewel thief tries to cover her past but a chance photo of her alerts the people she has crossed before. Enjoyable if not quite a classic but I do like the ending and Rebecca Romijn suits the role to a T before her success as Mystique in the X-Men series.

Great
This movie turned out to be a great thriller. The characters were interesting and the song was good. The cinematography/effects were decent and not gruesome. The story tied together and lasted out well. The "trap" rooms are pretty creative too. The ending left it open for a sequel(like Hollywood loves to do anymore). Overall, really worth a watch.

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.

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.

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!
