Thieves in the Night

Normally not my type of thing at all.. would never watch it by choice and would be near certain to hate this sort of thing, alas my partner wanted to watch it - so here I am. It's worth a watch.. I would never choose this sort of film by choice, and in honesty I wouldn't watch again.. but it did surprise me, in that I wanted to finish it.. given that it isn't my sort of thing at all as a preference, there's definitely something there. It's clearly low budget, but when you factor this in, some of the acting im great in moments(without the backing of major special FX etc). Some of it isn't great, but there are moments that are. If you like cult English films then you would probably love it. I would normally give say this sort of thing should be a 5/10, but as it was unique and kept me watching, it's fair to score higher. Give it a go.. don't expect Hollywood and then score it based on this.. this is the only reason that I could imagine there would be any harsh critics on it.

This movie is a standout thriller that expertly mixes suspense with sharp humor. From the start, the film grabs your attention with its intense atmosphere, only to surprise you with perfectly timed comedic moments. This blend of tension and humor is rare, but "Thieves in the Night" pulls it off effortlessly.

The plot is engaging and well-paced, keeping you hooked while also delivering unexpected laughs. The cast shines, with strong performances that balance the film's dark tone with light-hearted moments. The direction and cinematography complement the story, creating a thrilling yet amusing experience.

Overall, "Thieves in the Night" is a refreshing twist on the thriller genre. It's a film that keeps you on edge while making you laugh, offering a unique and entertaining experience. Definitely worth a watch for thriller fans looking for something different.

That was fun! It has some hilarious dialogue and great characters. And it's not always politically correct.

Despite being funny, there is a sense of dread throughout the film, because we know that something will happen, at some point. But when and how to situation escalates, we don't. And yes, If just no one would have tried anything stupid, then maybe everyone would have survived.

There are some memorable performances in it. I liked the bad guys and the family members alike.

The twist was a nice turn. Normally I'm not a fan of home invasion films, but I've never seen one this funny and engaging.

I also noticed some details on a second watch. And it changed my perspective on some characters the second time.

Will put this on my yearly Christmas watch list.

Thieves in the Night delivers a solid experience, driven by its palpable tension and strong performances. The film consistently keeps viewers on edge, with suspense that builds gradually and effectively. The atmosphere is charged, making every scene feel intense and engaging. The plot has an interesting twist that keeps you guessing where it will head to next...

A standout is Tim Cullingworth-Hudson, whose portrayal adds a layer of depth to the film. His performance is both nuanced and compelling, grounding the narrative with a believable and human touch. It is a well-crafted thriller that I enjoyed watching.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I liked the randomness of it all. The villains did not go there to torture them and the father was not working at a bank. They just needed to hide and chose the wrong house. If they would have gone into another house, things might turned out differently.

Cody is my favourite character, because he has the best lines. The actor was good too. I also liked Mia and she was also played very well. The banter between the two is pretty good.

First I was on Ray's side, because he seemed like the only one that was reasonable. On the second watch I saw him a bit differently.

The uncle Ben character also has a nice attitude. When Cody insults him about his ginger hair and wearing a beige cardigan is my personal highlight of the film.

I would give a higher rating, but sometimes you can notice that it is a lower budget film.
