Dean (6927 KP) rated Tower Block (2012) in Movies

OK Thriller
A decent very low budget UK film, featuring a few well known faces to UK TV audiences. The story is very basic with a group of residents held captive in a Tower block by a sniper. It has a few neat touches and surprises but is rather too predictable and some of the acting isn't great. Catch it on TV if you fancy a change from the normal run of the mill stuff.
When a neighbor's child is kidnapped on Halloween, it starts FBI agent Chris Miller on the trail of a terrorist attack planned for Thanksgiving. I got really caught up in this excellent thriller and had a hard time putting it down. The only warning here is the epithets used by the villains.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Light It Up: A Peter Ash Novel in Books
Jul 12, 2018
Petrie and Ash did it again! This book was full of action, the way Peter Ash novels usually are, but also gave us glimpses of Peter’s lighter, more playful side and how you change and adapt when there is someone important in your life. I love that the dynamic friendship between Peter and Lewis continues to grow and unfold as does Peter’s relationship with June. This thriller was excellent and un-put-downable.

Nice twist on the usual action films
A film about a smart mouthed defence lawyer whose wife and daughter are murdered. Its a revenge thriller with a difference. Instead of shouting his mouth off Antonia Banderas vows to remain silent until the killer or killers are brought to justice. No army training or previous fighting experience, just a lawyer wanting revenge. A good supporting cast makes this well worth a watch.

Intense
This horror/thriller flick was great. The acting (Blake Lively) was excellent and the cinematography was very well done. Some seriously beautiful visuals. This shark attack story played out well with many intense moments throughout to keep you on the edge of your seat. I found myself cheering for her to make it to that next moment. The effects were done very well and the ending was unexpected but welcome. REALLY worth a watch!

Wow
Not your typical exorcism movie. The acting and cinematography were phenomenal. The storyline unfolded beautifully and intensely in this supernatural thriller. The twists were a bit predictable and the end, of course, left it open for a sequel, but none of that took away from the entertainment value. If you enjoy possession stories you'll enjoy this one. It approaches possession and exorcism from a very interesting perspective/angle. REALLY worth a watch!
Barry Newman (204 KP) rated Eye In The Sky (2016) in Movies

This thought provoking drone strike thriller is a tense and exciting watch with some excellent work from Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul and the much missed Alan Rickman. I liked how the film satisfyingly explores the political, ethical and emotional implications of ending a human life thousands of miles away from behind a computer screen. It was quite disturbing and sadly very realistic to see politicians arguing over the positives of murder. Well worth checking out.
