It is not a very long film but brilliant. It starts with the crash (sorry water landing) and concentrates on the aftermath and where to lay the blame. Sully really was a hero and it was lovely to see how during the investigation he showed them not to rely on computers as everyone does now but to incorporate the human factor.

Movie Favorite

"My favorite Max Ophuls film. I love the swirling camera that mirrors the circus ring, and the ring of life. The story of Lola Montès (Martine Carol) and her many conquests, reenacted as a circus performance, narrated by ringmaster Peter Ustinov. It concludes with a death-defying plunge into a tub of water to symbolize her ultimate fall from grace."

Virginia Woolf | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"As far as the modernists go, this is neck and neck with Beckett for number ten (that’s cheating, I know), but Woolf must win. Like Baldwin, Woolf has made many a top 10 list, but again, there’s a reason: I know of no more gut-wrenching, soaring prose about shared consciousness, mortality and water. Truly a book for the cradle to the grave."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dirty Deeds (Dirty Deeds, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

I think reading this before I read the second book in the <i>Hell or High Water</i> series wasn't the best idea as the characters were talking about things I had no idea about.

That being said I did like the IM messages between Mal and Cillian and that ending has definitely got me wanting to read a second book about them.
