Gripping - Got My Attention
I stumbled onto this
thriller while channel surfing in an Istanbul hotel room. I missed the
first 20 minutes, but it didn't take long to be drawn into the story.
In fact, the action is so fast and gripping that I didn't dare get up to
take a pee for fear of missing something. Now that's gripping!
Earlier
today I saw a report on cameras no larger than the size of a pill that
can make a movie of your digestive tract, from mouth to anus. Now if
such miniature devices are already a reality, then some of the tracking
technology used in this film must be close to reality - maybe too close
for comfort.
