Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

BelSports 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.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

kmjordan013 This movie was interesting, kept me engaged, and not completely predictable. Would recommend!

rockywaters A good story if you can get past the ridiculous affirmative action casting, racial role reversals, and typical Christian bashing. Possible Spoiler Alert:The story takes place in a wealthy white area. However, the police captain is a black woman. The bad guy home invaders are white. They shoot a black woman police officer. The opening scene shows a white man holding his family hostage. He then recites from the bible, saying his Christian God wants him to send his family to heaven, then murders his wife and son. Too bad Jewish Hollywood is allowed to put this mind poison in almost every movie. When was the last time you saw a movie with a Jew quoting Jewish scripture before slaughtering his family? When have you seen a child molesting Rabbi in a movie? How many Catholic priests are portrayed that way?

SnoopyStyle Jeff Talley (Bruce Willis) is a former LAPD hostage negotiator. After a particularly brutal incident, he leaves L.A. to be the chief of police in the small suburb of Bristo Camino. Some time later, Dennis and his brother Kevin, and their vicious cohort Mars Krupcheck break into the Smith home. They are challenged by a cop and shots her. They lock down the highly secured home taking Walter Smith (Kevin Pollak) and his two kids hostage. However other interests intervene. Walter actually does work for a mysterious criminal gang and they want a DVD from inside the house. The criminals take Talley's family hostage forcing him to work outside the law to find the DVD and trade it for his family.This is a functional thriller. The main thing that bugged me are the three young thugs. They are too stereotypical. They're greasy and jittery. It's too on-the-nose. I like that the movie takes a simple premise and puts a slightly different spin on it. It's too bad that Kevin Pollak doesn't have a bigger role. This movie seems geared towards his wheelhouse. Bruce Willis is usually good in this type of roles. This is a relatively fine thriller but it's nothing special.

LeonLouisRicci A Nasty, Moodish, and Bloody Neo-Noir Thriller that is Ultra-Stylish and Convoluted, not Quite Edge of Your Seat but is Edgy Enough for a Guilty Pleasure that can make You Feel Comfortably Numb if that is Your Inclination.Yes, it is more of the Same but it Dresses its Sameness in Dark, Gothic, Sharply Defined Artistry that has a Graphic Novel Feel. Bruce Willis is the Center of all the Hubbub and Bub there is a lot, probably too much, Rotating around the Hub of this Story.Ben Foster, Channeling Trent Reznor, Stands Out by Standing Around like some sort of Devil Dude with Distinctively Demonic Eyes and Expressionless Behaviour. He is Contrasted by the Sweaty, Drooling, Crunched Faced Overacting by Jonathan Tucker, that one can only Hope will be the First to Die. The rest of the Cast is Fine and Expectedly Frantic.The Cinematography is Deep Gloom with a Sheen of Shadows that somehow Manages to Bring along some Color and it Looks quite Different and adds much to the Tone of the Film. This seems to be all About Look and Not Much Else and that's OK for this Type of Thing.
