A very good cop/crime action thriller film with an impressive cast. The main story follows 3 New York cops and the pressure each one is under working in one of the worst areas of the city. Full of drugs, guns, prostitution and various gangs that are on every corner. If you like some of the similar films you should like this. It has plenty of action and a grandstand finish!

The best of the 3
A very good nitty-gritty action/thriller. It packs a real punch not just for the great action scenes and fights but also for the storyline and good acting. I wasn't convinced at first at casting Liam Neeson in this type of role, but he plays the part of a doting father hell bent on revenge and getting his daughter back very well.

A decent slow burner
For a fairly short film, 1hr 40mins, it's incredibly slow paced. It feels like a much longer film and could easily have a good 20mins cut from it. Apart from that it's a pretty decent thriller. The trailers are a little misleading, there is little Horror here. The story is good with an ending few will see coming.

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well!

Great!
This one was on Netflix(not exclusive). An awesome crime thriller that is full of twists and turns in the story. Charlize Theron was (as always) amazing, as was the rest of the cast. The cinematography was great and the story unfolded with a slow churning intensity. Some mild violence, but otherwise nothing too bad for kids. However, I'd say it's more of an adult tale. Really worth a watch!

Could have been better
I feel this film got its wires crossed a little. Billed as a dark comedy, there's little to laugh at. It would have been better going down the thriller route a bit more. Kinda like single white female with a social media update. Scarily accurate in the obsession some have with social media. The ending was rather weak as well. Although overall an interesting film.
  
The Affair  - Season 2
The Affair - Season 2
2015 | Drama
The investigation of the murder takes more centre stage here as Noah and Alison's affair starts to have impacts on the lives of people in the town. Again two timeframes are on the go here, as the murder trial starts and the events surrounding the murder are revealed bit by bit.
Another great balance between drama and romance, family turmoil and a thriller aspect. Satisfying but surprising conclusion.

Something different
A decent mix of thriller and Horror as 2 kids pay a visit to grandparents they have never met before. There are a couple of scenes that will give a chill down the back of your neck. The only real downer was the finale was a little weak. With all M. Night Shymalan films though you know a twist is coming.

I received a copy of this book to review it. OMG I read it start to finish in one setting!!! This thriller is only part one so I have to wait to see what happens next. It closely resembles the current president except he was the running mate to the first woman president. Who killed the president elect during her victory speech? Was the billionaire running mate or someone else???
