What a great thriller this is from start to finish but it most definitely isn’t for the faint hearted. It all starts out so innocently with a happy couple making a road trip for the 4th July celebrations but who knew a spilt coffee could be the start of a nightmare that goes from bad to worse.

Very predictable twist and ending (2 more)
Not a great deal of Shark scenes
Noticeable poor script
Lacking bite
I thought I'd give this a go as I quite like Shark films. This was a disappointment, every jump scene you can see coming a mile away. The apparent twist is sign posted early on. One that will mainly annoy the majority I think given the reaction in the cinema. @The Shallows (2016) was a much better Shark thriller.

A great crime thriller with a a good cast. For a change for a Guy Ritchie gangster film this isn't about East end gangsters in London and there is no humour in this. It makes a nice change and the story is very good. The plot gets a bit twisted and can be hard to follow at times. However it's one of the better gangster films I've seen in a long while. Slick and stylish with some great twists.

Decent
This one is a low budget thriller but proved you don't have to be big budget to make a good movie. While some parts were a little strange-and a some a little predictable-the overall story was well done! Cinematography and acting were just right for this one and Olivia Wilde proves herself in this emotional role. Not the greatest movie out there but keeps your attention through to the end. Worth a watch!

I really enjoyed this book, it had me hooked from the first page till the very end. this book is full of twists and turns and you never know what's going to happen with every page you read. when you get near the end the book comes to life with all the suspense. this is a fantastic psychological thriller, that you will defiantly enjoy from start to finish.

highly recommended

A good action-thriller with a strong cast. It has a slow build up and is very character driven. There are some good, although short scenes, with some good supporting actors. There seem to be a lot of things in the plot that will make you think, why did/didn't he do that instead etc. So you need to suspend reality and stretch the imagination a little in places. An enjoyable enough film if not anything outstanding.

A Netflix original starring Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan. This movie was excellent. The cinematography, the acting, the special effects. All great. The story unfolds fairly quickly with a really fascinating twist to it that really catches you off guard. This sci-fi action thriller is intense. There's violence but this movie is ok for kids too. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it! Even if you're not a huge fan of sci-fi, you can appreciate and enjoy this film.

GREAT Demon Horror/Thriller
I loved this book!!! This took me back some years to my childhood days of sneaking and reading Stephen King books before I was supposed to. I had this read in two day as once I started I couldn't stop. I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say this; this story made me think of old Stephen King stories, Robert McCammon and some others. Thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to reading more!!!

Awesome
I've been a Garner fan for along time and she certainly doesn't disappoint in this movie. Everything about this movie was excellent. The acting, the cinematography, the action, the story... EVERYTHING. She's proven once again she can hold her own in the genre. A vengeance thriller that keeps you in it's grip the entire time. Not 100% believable but, um, it's a MOVIE. If you're into action thrillers, you WILL enjoy this one. WORTH A WATCH!

A True Brit Gem...
From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!
