A great Spanish ghost story/thriller which I'm sure said it was directed by Guiilermo Del Toro? I saw the trailer and had to see this. It's very creepy at times, largely due to the spooky location. It's a very good story well told and directed. Reminded me of The Others, The 6th sense most of all, so if you like those you'll love this.

Having twist in the title is appropriate because this book had so many twists and turns it made my head spin. It was exactly what you want in a thriller. The characters were not wimpy but not superheros either. The setting of the cutthroat corporate world added a different dimension as well.It just all fit perfectly. Then add sexual tension. Yes, this book had it all.

Full review:
A sometimes effective home invasion thriller, Breaking In gets by on the strength of Gabrielle Union who delivers a powerhouse performance out of a script that needed more work. Billy Burke is the best of the bunch when it comes to the villains, but this is largely a movie that deserved to be better than it ended up.

Seemed like a good idea...
Also known as Survival Island in America. Classed as an erotic thriller, unfortunately failing on both counts. Kelly Brook does get naked for about 2 mins of the film and that's it. There isn't much tension, or scares and it has a daft voodoo sub-plot. A similar and much better film, also starring Billy Zane, is Deep Calm.
A great thriller set in Hong Kong as a Husband from the UK uncovers mysterious facts around the death of his wife. It starts well and the first few episodes have some great twists and turns. Unfortunately it loses momentum around the last few episodes. It features a great cast and some great locations around Hong Kong.

Great movie!
Eveything about this movie was great-the acting, the cinematography/imagery and the story. With plenty of hi-tech, action, twists and turns and a wonderful protagonist, this story entertains from the start. This thriller was one heck of a ride. I didn't recognize most of the actors but they all played their parts beautifully. I highly recommend this film. REALLY worth a watch!

Jackie Chan still has it
This political action thriller was VERY entertaining. I've been a Jackie Chan fan from his earliest works and he's only gotten better over the years. This one has plenty of his signature action(though less comedic, more serious) matched with a very intense story line about justice being served. If you're into crime thrillers, you'll enjoy this one. Really worth a watch!

Great!
This spy thriller turned out to be great action movie! The acting was superb (Theron was awesome). The cinematography was great and the storyline unfolded beautifully. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack (i'm an eighties guy, so...). The are some great fight scenes and some sexual scenes, as well. Overall this is a great "date night" movie. Really worth a watch!

I always seem to mix this up with Blue Velvet for some reason?
A pretty decent thriller with a lot of well known faces. It's about a drifter making out to be a hitman, but things go from strange to worse when he finds out who the client is and and the real hitman shows up. Worth a look next time it comes on TV.
