Highly Overrated But Still Good

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Actually i have never seen a movie like this, worst EVER!. waste of time i think if i had a beer in graveyard it would be much useful, i mean how can his friend have an safe jacket and the boss doesn't? is it about home security commercial, i hope the actors and the director and the writer dies for wasting my time plus a lot of mistakes come on we are in 2016 and we still have common mistakes? if she rode the car out of the garage she could've break through! and that kid ran out for no reason without any warning how possibly a kid freaked out do this, maybe had some experiences before... what is it in that safe? who is that women who is that guy who stood for an army cause the boss said ï will make it worth your while? oh my god i feel the writer is mocking the audience ..or the watchers..

Chloe Paige (Natasha Henstridge) and her stepson Jacob (Liam Dickinson) live in an isolated mansion in an island. Chloe's husband is traveling and she does not know his whereabouts. One stormy night, Chloe is drinking wine with her friend Alice (Johannah Newmarch) when a car arrives and Alice believes they are strangers needing information. When she leaves the house, she is murdered by a masked man. Chloe closes the front door and calls the police and the home security company. However the police can not cross the bridge that was damaged by the criminals. Meanwhile the trio of criminals breaks in Chloe's house. The security agent Mike (Jason Patric) uses the security cameras to advise Chloe where to hide. The trio is looking for a safe and for Chloe while she is hidden with Jacob. Will the police arrive in time to save Chloe and Jacob?"Home Invasion" is a reasonable thriller considering that it is home video. The story is simple and tense but the characters have unreasonable attitudes. Chloe does not use her car to break down the gate of the garage and flee with her stepson. She shoots Heflin but does not take his weapon and stays in the fire line with her stepson. Heflin threatens Chloe to open the safe instead of leaving his skilled partner continue his attempt. The criminal in the truck shoots the police officers in a senseless decision since he was one against a group. In addition, there is an electrical power outage on the exact moment that Chloe and Jacob are opening the gate. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not available on Blu-Ray or DVD

When a wealthy woman and her stepson are targeted by a expert thieves in their remote mansion, her only form of help comes from a call with a security systems specialist, whom thirty years prior was a boy who may have been lost.But as the intruders become increasingly hostile and the connection weakens, will she trust him to be her eyes and navigate her to avoid the criminals.....I always thought home invasion films should be a lot of fun shouldn't they? Family goes on holiday, leaves a member and they scream when applying aftershaves and set booby traps.Or they have Ethan Hawke in them with weird people with smiles and a sub context damning the American class.....Well this is neither of those, it's just an atypical thriller along the lines of Trespass but without the subplot of having one of the criminals be a paranoid schizophrenic.Instead you have the psychotic female who just wants to kill everyone and be done with it, you have the safecracker with the heart of gold, and then you have the against type Scott Adkins.I think Adkins is brilliant in his suitable genre, kicking butt and harking back to those straight the video action movies that were released in the late eighties/early nineties, but here he's trying to pass as an intellectual mastermind because he wears a suit and speaks clear and concisely.........he doesn't convince.So we are left with Jason Patric looking like he's had a particularly heavy night before, guiding Natasha Henstrige, looking like she's had a few particularly heavy meals around the house avoiding the criminals who spend the movie staying in the same room.It's not particularly good, but it's not bothersome either. The cast, Akins aside play their respective parts well, and it throws in some funny clichés, such as a lightning bolt cutting out the power when they needed it the most.Throw in the stupidest 'fool the criminal' ending, and you have another mundane thriller starring people who were a bit famous twenty years ago.

Wow! What a pure waste of time watching this film. I mean from start to finish this was by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. So the movies is about these people who Natasha Henstridge's husband have stolen from, and they arrive at her home to exact what is in a safe behind a wall in the house. The story never tells you anything of the who what when where or how or even the contents of the safe. Its just a home invasion of very upscale home in which they now terrorize a mother and her son. The mother calls their home security service and from there the movies just goes completely down hill. Personally I think this was a major slap in the face to 911 emergency and law enforcement, and nothing but a marketing strategy to get more middle to upper class homeowners to invest in security systems. But after watching this simply awful movie, all I wanna do is go out and get a 9mm and two Doberman. If wanna watch good home invasion movie, which most of you have probably already watched, nothing will beat Panic Room.
