All Aboard The Train: Ticket Please

The Commuter- combines the Taken franchise, Non-Stop and Run All Night mixs it with Murder on The Orient Express and Strangers on a Train. All those togther results into this movie. A decent action suspense thriller starting Liam Nesson.

The Plot: Insurance salesman Michael is on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on the train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding, and he is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy that carries life and death stakes for everyone on the train.

I would reccordmend watching this movie, cause its good.

The Heist

Den of Thieves- is a decent action heist thriller, its also very slow at many points throughout the movie, only when the action hits thats when the movie is good.

The Plot: Nick O'Brien is the hard-drinking leader of the Regulators, an elite unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Ray Merrimen is the recently paroled leader of the Outlaws, a gang of ex-military men who use their expertise and tactical skills to evade the law. O'Brien, Merrimen and their crews soon find themselves on a direct collision course as the criminals hatch an elaborate plan for a seemingly impossible heist -- the city's Federal Reserve Bank.

Gerald Butler, Pablo Schrieber and O'Shea Jackson Jr. are all good in this film.

What else can i say.

This is one of my favorites, except Butler's character really annoyed me.

A powerful story of two sisters

The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly hooked me from the first chapter. The sisters Ivy and Autumn lost their mother to cancer three years ago, and their father has remarried. Ivy is a nerd girl band geek and Autumn is the “bad girl”, dealing drugs and getting into trouble. They barely communicate, but when Autumn is kidnapped, Ivy knows something is very wrong and does not give up on Autumn despite others assuming that Autumn’s disappearance is just due to her own bad behavior. This book is a well written thriller with excellent characters, and skillfully explores the bond between the sisters, friendships, and families. The author also examines how girls’ lives are valued less than those of boys. It was hard to put down and thought provoking.

What we have here is another winner from Mr Sinclair and yet another off my to-be-read pile!

Having recently read the first in the series, "Dance With The Enemy", I admit to being a little nervous as to whether this instalment was going to be as good however, I needn't have worried .... this is just as good and had been hooked from start to finish.

With loads of action and suspense, fantastic characters and excellent story, this is a riveting spy thriller and one I would highly recommend. This is the second in the series and although not absolutely essential, I would recommend you read the first ... believe me, you won't be disappointed.

Once again, belated thanks go to Clink Street Publishing and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

Brilliant poolside material!

As soon as the book began I was interested in the main character. Charming, somewhat reserved and very knowledgeable with a bit of an ego. As other important characters are introduced a general sense of unease clouds over the story. Author did this brilliantly without making it too much of an uncomfortable read. Tension builds from a healthy point in the book and it leaves you just enough time to mull over your own theories of what's really going on. The shock value of the ending aligned nicely with the climax felt from about midway of the story. Would have liked a bit more character depth but it's a great if you want an easy-read thriller that leaves you satisfied!
