I honestly have no idea how I stumbled on this film on my list but since it had a female lead I had to click the play button. Its year of production of course was discouraging but I still gave it a go. Fortunately, I wasn’t really disappointed. Directed by Joe Lynch, this film a gory action thriller that combines gritty violence with moments of dark humor.

The events in this book are palpable which makes it an interesting read. The book made me realize how frustrating blindness can be . I used to think it was something people could manage as the girl in my friend’s hostel makes it look like it’s not much of a big deal by moving around effortlessly. I was honestly frustrated alongside the protagonist. At some point I had to shut my eyes for a while to find things around the house. It was total blackout and i was completely useless without my sight.

I honestly don't know how the title of this movie correlates with its content but whatever, right? Anyway, this one promises an intense, action-packed ride laced with emotional stakes and social commentary. With Jason Momoa in the lead role, the film attempts to blend themes of revenge, corporate greed and familial love into a gripping thriller.

I'm supposed to be in festive mood - watching Christmas themed films but unfortunately, I'm not. Instead, I went digging for suspense thrillers and this one piqued my interest with its intriguing premise of secrets unraveled in a wealthy family. I expected much from it at first glance at it's poster and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed.

The title of this book is a stark contrast to it's storyline. However, I loved that it spoke about what most authors trivialize in their novels; the struggle of facing mental illness alone. It is one thing to battle PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts, as a teenager, and another to battle it completely alone. It's also very difficult not to get attached to the characters in this book.

This review might not capture the exact way I felt when I finished reading this novel. It felt surreal, like I was having an intense literary experience not many people are opportuned to have. I loved the plot, the narrating style, the short chapters, the characters, and the way this book drew me into the world of imagination and delusion.
