Stop This Plane
Non-Stop- is a really good action suspense drama thriller. Liam Neeson is really good in this.
The plot: Alcoholic and world-weary, U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) lost his passion for his work long ago. Even though lives are potentially at stake during every flight, he sees the assignment as just a desk job. However, his "ordinary day at the office" becomes a high-stakes crisis during a flight to London. Marks receives a series of text messages demanding that he instruct the airline to transfer $150 million into an offshore account, or a passenger will die every 20 minutes.
I highly recordmend it.

Engaging Thriller
This book didn't waste any time getting going while still giving us a good feeling for the characters.
With the abduction of the youngest child of a content wealthy mother of three, Bree Cabbat, I did wonder if we were going to go down a path too frequently travelled in thrillers of late for me. But the twists hit early and hard leaving me gripped.
Jackson again demonstrates a writing style that gets me on board with characters I would usually have little regard for, making me desperate to find out their fate.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy.

Story flowed perfectly
Edge of your seat film
Absolutely brilliant, only came across a select series of films that matched up the first and this one has now made that list. a thriller full of tense moments that had me sitting at the edge of my seat. couldn't look away. There better be a third one @johnkrasinski because i was enamoured. The growth of the young characters is great and the new character (who is actually an old character) which combined well in the story. amazing that time was taken to explain how it all happened in this film and also leaving it a place for a 3rd.

2008 conspiracy techno-thriller starring Shia LaBeouf (remember him?) and Michelle Monaghan, as two strangers who get pulled into a high-tech plot by a female voice in the other end of the phone.
This might sound a bit strange, but remember The Matrix?
The bit where Neo is receiving instructions from Morpheus on how to escape from his office workplace?
That's the type of thing going on here: do this. Do that. Jump now. Get on this train. Drive at speed straight ahead (with all the lights turning green). And so forth and so on...
Maybe also a touch of Skynet about it all...

Revenge and Vengeance
Four Brothers- is a good movie. It has action, suspense, thrills and chills.
The plot: When an inner-city Detroit foster mother (Fionnula Flanagan) is murdered in a botched holdup, four of her now-grown adopted children suspect it was no random killing. Rising musician Jack (Garrett Hedlund), former-Marine Angel (Tyrese Gibson), hotheaded hockey player Bobby (Mark Wahlberg) and settled-down husband and father Jeremiah (André Benjamin) go on the hunt for neighborhood criminal kingpin Victor Sweet (Chiwetel Ejiofor) while being trailed themselves by the local beat cops.
The cast is good, the action is good, the suspense is good and its a good thriller.

Not scary at all for a horror film.
Was looking forward to finally watching this but was left disappointed somewhat by it.
First of all this ain't no horror film,its a thriller with some odd looking creatures in it and secondly how did this family survive whatever apocalypse happen to come along and wipe out humanity.A little bit of a backstory would have helped.
I didn't find the creatures that frightening or intimidating,how could they rip through a metal grain silo but not in the car when the kids happened to be inside it.Hopefully the sequel will be an improvement

Twist turny spy action thriller, with an initially blonde Angelina Jolie taking on the role of Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who has to go on the run for plot reasons.
And, once she does, the film hardly pauses for breath, hurtling from one set piece to another to another...
Angelina Jolie (in full own action girl mode) capably holds her own in this, with a supporting cast that included the likes of Liev Schrieber and Chiwetel Ejiofor (and a pre Brooklyn-99 Andre Braugher popping up in a small role), in a film that doesn't outstay its welcome and was seemingly made for more (as yet unmade) sequels!
