Arnie and Sly together in an action movie was the only reason to watch this average jail break movie with a twist.
Its not too bad and it moves at a fast enough pace to not take too much of your time, the sequel on the other hand was a waste of everyone's time.

This type of book is not really my thing. The writing was good and the story was good, but overall I was a bit bored and confused and really noone won in the end. The ending was a very good twist though. Overall, even though it wasn't my thing I would recommend it to others.

A great film that really draws you in and holds your attention all the way through. It has a strong cast, great location and of course awesome director. A very good thriller with a twist most should work out before the end, but it's still fun seeing it all unveil. Go see it!

Brilliant
Brilliant read took a couple of chapters to get going, and does go back and forth (past and present). It is not as happy as the films. There are twists along the way, you won't see beauty and the beast in the same way again a must for disney fans.
  
A murdered parachuter and a suicide that Dr. Sloan witnesses are the cases in this fast paced mystery. I enjoyed it, but I did feel that there was one more twist than needed at the end.

My sixth grade students really enjoyed this novel, though they felt that the end really left them hanging. Bud is an adorable little character and while, as an experienced reader, some parts of the plot were a bit predictable for me, my students were utterly surprised by each twist and turn. A fun read.

This movie is a really awesome Netflix Original. The cinematography is excellent. The acting is compelling, even the children are incredible. Lots of action, with a huge surprise plot twist. I was blown away when I realized what was actually happening. This is a very creative, thrilling sci fi movie and I highly recommend it.

Nice and easy read!
Nice, easy psychological thriller. I ended up guessing who the "masked man" was pretty early in the book but I enjoyed following Emma's journey in trying to remember the events of that fateful night.
4 out of 5 ?

Brilliantly upbeat
This is very clever, I thoroughly enjoyed every choreographed minute of it. Not quite what I expected as I assumed it was just a comedy but the music added a fantastic twist. Loved the tequila bit!

Gave a 9 star because the end got a little silly!

Whoever translated this from the French is an excellent writer themselves. The language is nothing short of elegant, and reminiscent of Ondaatje. The story is simple but the characters are so vivid and special, they draw you in. Simply a lovely read from start to finish (and the twist in the end isn't bad, either).
