But a memorial incident that happened years ago in Cambodia prompted Dongy Dingy, a Northern Korean Mafia and armoury manufacturer, to plan a total annihilation of Jakes family. This singular act rekindled and aggravated an old enmity between Britain and Northern Korea. A test of security maneuvering was called upon by the British and Southern Korea to collaborate on a cold sea joint military task force. There was a big problem as to who should embark on this ‘Suicide Mission’ and two special Agents’ names were pencilled down. These two, although under the M15 payroll, but were sworn enemies. Then a tactical approach had to be followed and its military mandate and a forced mergermust be executed. The two had no option than to obey superior order. And that’s not all, their names were to be struck out of Interpol list and as such, their identities were no longer logged into government protection or mentioning except if they come back home alive. There was the decision to make, either to lay their lives with their past pains or forgive one another. They decided to go because the blood of the Jakes family members who were gruesomely killed must be avenged and the security powerhouse of the British government was put to test. This mission is dirty and only James and Tracey could volunteer to risk their lives on this ‘Suicide Mission’ expedition. Who will blink first?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind Reeling investigates how cinema displays and mirrors psychological disorders, such as bipolar disorder, amnesia, psychotic delusions, obsessive compulsive behavior, trauma, paranoia, and borderline personalities. It explores a range of genres, including biopics, comedies, film noirs, contemporary dramedies, thrillers, Gothic mysteries, and docufictions. The contributors open up critical approaches to audience fascination with film depictions of serious disturbances within the human psyche. Many films examined here have had little scholarly attention and commentary. These essays focus on how cinematic techniques contribute to popular culture's conception of mental dysfunction, trauma, and illness. This book reveals the complex artistic and generic patterns that produce contemporary images of psychopathology in cinema.
