    “Thursday, October 31st. The city streets are crowded for the holiday. Even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes. And I'm there too. Watching. 
    Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now, for when I'm needed. When that light hits the sky, it's…

    “I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE! CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH! SING BROTHERS! SING! SING!”

    Movie Night W/Parents: Film #9

    Dads choice. Gritty and dirty cop film with a brilliant lead, amazing score and fantastic suspense. Some great chases and moments of humour too, with a bitter ending that feels massively suited. 

    Mum’s score - 4/10
    Dad’s score - 6/10
    My score - 7.5/10

    You know the movie has hit hard when, on the walk back to the car, you turn to your girlfriend and say, “Can we play some ABBA on the drive back to cheer us up?” 
    Recency bias may be a thing, and I may be a victim of it, but I’m pretty confident this is a top ten romance film personally. And a top five of the year, again this is all my opinion, and it may not be for…
