Not the usual alien movie.


It's not all over glorified action, instead it is a slow burn, centering around a small rebellion, with the feel of a government espionage/spy thriller.
Overall it felt slightly predictable but I wasn't hugely invested, so was happy to go along for the ride, and just enjoy it for what it was.

There are some acting giants here, that deliver as usual, but were given such short screen time for it to have much impact.
A couple of newbies, that I hadn't encountered, held up the leads, but unfortunately for them they weren't given much to work with, or build on for you too truly feel for them.

It certainly wasn't a bad film, it had some interesting moments but it will likely have faded from my purview within a week or two.

Don't watch if you're into all out battles with humans vs aliens going toe-to-toe, and trying to outsmart each other.
Do watch if you enjoy the slow unfolding of a spy thriller, with small doses of peril peppered throughout (and aliens just to spice it up a little).

Fast paced thriller
Dwayne Johnson is released from prison for his part in a bank robbery and immediately goes on a mission to track down and kill his brother's murderers. However, someone is also trying to track and kill him too.
What follows is a series of encounters between Johnson and his targets and Johnson and his would-be killer with some cops trying to keep up with it all. It moves along at pace and keeps your interest right up until the twist at the end which I did not see coming.

[Hater] by [David Moody] was recommended to me by my spouse. Since we have greatly different taste in books I put off reading it. Plus the bloody cover was off putting to be honest. Even though I read end of the world and zombie books graphic violence is usually not my thing but that was not what this book was like at all. Instead it was almost a psychological thriller that left the reader as well as the main character wondering who really were the good and bad guys.

Is he there or isn't he
A great thriller about a man sent to investigate the death of woman. He head problems and is kind of OCD in the way he does things. This is a close look into the eye of a detective who is obsessed with solving a murder

It is hard to write a good review cause I would be afraid that anything would give it away. This is a movie you need to see all the way through and learn the ending just to go back and spot the reasons why.

Gone Girl on a train
I was so looking forward to this film. It looked like another Gone Girl and it starred one of my favourite actresses working in Hollywood today in the lead role. Unfortunately I was left a bit disappointed. This isn't a bad movie by any stretch, it simply failed to live up to the high expectations that I had for it. Maybe this is my fault, if all you are looking for is a well acted thriller then you may like this one better than I did.

Luis Tosar (Cesar) (0 more)
Someone is watching on over you.
This is a Spanish psychological thriller staring Luis Tosar who does a cracking job as one of the guys you never hope to come across. I caught this particular film on the Horror channel of all places and, I was pleasantly surprised by this tense and dark film which at times had me on the edge of my seat and just a little freaked out. If this film was meant to be a bit unsettling, it did it well.
