... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreThe character introductions were well done, as we really got to like them, as if we already knew them. Although it is an interesting premise and Kaya Scodelario is very good in her role, I did not find the film dynamic enough. She doesn't turn out to be the strong fighter I expected her to be. Ed Skrein was good as the villain, but Dougray Scott's character was passive for most of the film. Interesting twist.
... View Morelow budget piece of junk which I am sure a number of these reviewers never bothered to watch. It was like getting a cut on your arm and you wait till heals, instead it gets infected and they have to amputate. hardened criminals take over a house in order to commit a robbery. the son is upstairs having a conversation with his pregnant girl friend , he hears a noise ,grabs a cricket bat and we hear some screaming and cursing and next minute one of the criminals is lying on a bed with a piece of glass protruding from his stomach We don't get to see the fight scene because it probably cost to much to stage.then we here about the robbery but never get to see it.another budget cut. next the silly girlfriend is set free and can run to the nearest neighbor and raise the alarm for the swat squad to lay siege.instead she chooses to kill all the criminals with half an arrow and a crossbow. By this time I am hoping the amputation will be done under anesthetic and i wont wake up,but I do. The girl has now accomplished her task and listened to the confession of one of the criminals who admits to her he is scared and afraid.........my god someone just shoot him. next scene they ,the girlfriend, the mother and the boyfriend are loading the cash from the robbery into a mini which is sitting in the garage of the house which has been on fire now for ten minutes....still no fire brigade. I could go about how stupid this movie is but i have wasted enough of my time giving it a half star review.
... View MoreFlawed in many ways, countless of plot holes and cringe-worthy set-ups I literally uttered out 'Really!?' at one point when the girl managed to cause a diversion with a alarm clock, won't spoil anything but when you see it you'll know what I am talking about.But somehow it still managed to re-gain my interest even though it did through me out of the loop a bunch of times, so yeah you need to look past a lot of logical loopholes in this movie to enjoy it.So even though the script is flawed in many ways the atmosphere, acting and visual managed to carry the movie up just enough to become a decent watch although far from great.A similar movie that's better is 'THE AGGRESSION SCALE (2012)' so I'd recommend that before I recommend this but if you've seen that already and want to watch something similar than yeah this could be an acceptable choice, however don't expect it to be as good as that.
... View MoreNot really bad. Decent story that is properly paced, properly filmed with few stylish shots. Music was good at times (when it makes itself noticeable). Main bad guys weren't really that impressive but weren't terrible, neither was Kaya.. but compared to the rest of the cast (family) that was forgettable, they get to shine a bit. At least they weren't completely annoying, though her love interest was quite lacking and boring (probably because I have a thing for Kaya's face and find it a bit unforgiving).Had one really good scene that I really liked the look off (when the room explodes), where no cuts were made and seemed believable and awesome at the same time. Its kind of shocking how well the main heroine responded to everything, but it was written in a way I could accept it as it didn't go overboard. Bad guys weren't really that crazy either, which is good.** SPOILERS! BUT, it's like Kaya used up all her acting money to do a movie for herself, and be the cool superhero that gets to kill all the bad guys, survive and become rich.
