Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Home Invasion stars Jason Patric, Scott Adkins and Natasha Henstridge. And with a descent cast like that you will believe that this movie is actually pretty awesome guess what it's full of mistakes and lazy acting. I really feel bad about Scott Adkins because he could easily be the next Jason Statham and he chose to star in movies like this one. I enjoyed the characters of Henstridge and Patric but other than that the movie is a mess it's predictable at times, the acting is over the top and the lines are just way off and also the bad guys know all this things that the movie never wants to explain in full detail. Home Invasion is a movie that it's easily forgettable!!!

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.

I was skeptical about this movie. I really didn't wanted to check this out but I did anyways and boyoboy how glad am I. This movie is about a mother and stepson duo who are in a remote mansion(of course! In every home invasion movie there's a remote mansion). But then a trio of murder arrive and the movie starts out. I love such movies. From The Strangers and recent Berkshire County, I loved all of these and this one is on that list too. The acting is great for all I know and the kid is not annoying (wow!). So if you want to watch something and pass time,then watch this. But it's my humble request that please don't be too critical while watching this. Overall, Story: 5/10, it has been done before. Cast: 6/10 Thrill factor: 6.5/10 so the movie gets 7/10.
