Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Dark Pursuit in Books

Darrell Brooks, the best selling "King of Suspense," is struggling to write his 100th book after an accident stole his ability to concentrate. But he's going to need all his mental powers when his estranged granddaughter finds a body in her apartment and suspects her boyfriend, a cop, put it there. I loved this Christian thriller. The characters were good, but the character development at the end was a little abrupt.

The Puzzles
the emotional ride
the subjects and locations
This is a great thriller
I just really liked this book, I've read it too long ago to go into many details. But I intend to revisit it someday, and that means something as i usually don't revisit books. I like to consume and move forward, knowing that the next great story is waiting for me to reveal it.kind of like this book does with each puzzle, on to the next one.

Carbon copy of the first
So they almost did a carbon copy plot of the first, so it becomes very predictable and the twists are no surprise at all. Then do it with a smaller budget, lesser known actors and make it no way near as sexy as the first. If you liked the first one a lot this is a cheap imitation. It's not a bad thriller, but if you have seen the first there are no surprises to be had. Otherwise it's ok viewing if you like thrillers.

You go in expecting a fast paced action thriller, but you get something completely different. It's not a cliché. (2 more)
A good ensemble of actors who all bring in solid performances
As many people mention; the soundtrack is absurdly good. Fitting in beautifully with each melodramatic scene
Go in open minded. Suggesting this film to friends, I have always received varied mixed reviews. Not everyone is going to like it (1 more)
The slow pacing, limited conversation, and overabundance of intense eye contact might be a little too "different" for some to enjoy the movie
Go watch it

Weirdly interesting
Kind of hard to describe details of this film without giving things away.
Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page are mesmerizing both playing deeply flawed characters in this very interesting film. The movie will make you cry, wince, cringe and be disgusted all at the same time and different emotions throughout as you try and figure out character motives and backstories.
I enjoy a thriller you can't figure out, and this one definitely foots the bill. The heavy plot is not for everyone so be warned.

Katie Niles (20 KP) rated The Silent Wife in Books
Jun 18, 2018
What I expected to be a riveting, exciting, thriller novel turned out to be a very slow, predictable, murder mystery of a scorned woman and wife. It was an alright read but it was hard to get through it and force myself to get to the end because it hardly kept my interest. Would I recommend it to a friend? Very doubtful. Would I read again? Negative. I do plan on giving the author another go around and I do plan on reading another book of the authors.

OK but not as good as the original
I was a little disappointed after seeing this after the highs of the first film. From the plot and trailers, No rules this time. I expected the action to be ramped up a huge amount, with a very dark tone. It starts well but a change in direction and pace in the last third let it down slightly. Still a decent action thriller, worth seeing if you enjoyed the first. It just doesn't reach the same level and noticeably misses Emily Blunt's character.

The whole time I was reading this all I thought of was the movie with the robots - I believe it is called pacific rim. I don't know what I expected when I started this book but I got more than I bargained for I think. I like the excitement - when it happened - but for the most part this was just a political "thriller" type book - the thrills were lacking though - everything felt super slow and I didn't really understand what the point of the book was. Highly disappointed.

Find this one in Amazon. It's in German with English subtitles but was a pretty interesting sci-fi thriller. The acting was decent enough and the effects weren't too bad. The story unfolds a bit slow but it's interesting enough if you pay attention. It's definitely an interesting idea. Involves the concept of space travel to other passengers because of what we have done to earth and he technology is used by the "government" to fool us into believing there's a utopia like planet that we've habitated. Worth a watch if you're bored.
