Not as raw as Panic Room, or as entertaining as Hostage, this home-invasion movie is simply bland. All the characters are stereotyped - Nicholas Cage as nerdy secretive businessman, Nicole Kidman as hot wife, a spoiled daughter, plus the typical accouterment of bad guys - desperate guy, violent guy, crackhead chick, etc. There was one super hot bad guy, which was a plus.
The climax of the film was indistinguishable from the rest of the movie, I was like wait, that's it? Someone once told me that Cage is only good in movies where he has a mullet, and I think I may have to agree...
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
