Crawlspace

Home alone meets the A team meets macgiver, a plumber gets mixed up in a bungling pair trying to ransack a corrupted man's house to gain money.

It's not bad, but not good either. It's much more than some of the low ratings and it's an ok watch, the twist is not exactly ground breaking but this film doesn't pretend to be either. It was alright, touch teeth grinding with the injuries and certain characters didnt really need to be there but it's watchable.

Crawlspace had an interesting concept and was nothing that seemed overdone. The biggest problem I did have with this film however was the acting in certain places. It was bad and made parts of the film become flat. Henry Thomas is back to acting. I don't think I've seen him since castle rock and it's good seeing him. I'd even say he was the best thing about this film. He plays a plumber that uses a houses Crawlspace,that is until he witness to men kill another one for cash. That happens to be where Thomas is. What follows is a fight for servival and it's pretty fun to watch after get. Overall not great but this film was still a decent enough watch and was entertaining.

This isn't bad but at times you feel it doesn't know if it wants to be a out and out thriller or a comedy. However, it turns out to be both and is very funny in places and the premise is good, if a little flawed (is there really only one way to get under the house?). The performances are fine, jennifer robertson and Henry Thomas especially and there is a twist I didn't see coming. It's not the greatest film you will ever see but is a perfectly acceptable time passer. The kind of movie you say "that was allright that was" at the end.

The film has a good concept, but an epically poorly presented story. Here are some examples, so the main "hero" of the story is under the house and has a cell phone, but he doesn't call for help wtf (he obviously has signal and batteries because he had a missed call from his wife). On the other hand, the villains who are upstairs in the house "like" cannot get to him under the house, the only thing that separates them from the hero of the story are the thin boards on the floor and that's all considering that after the shot in the floor a hole of light was immediately shown which it means that it is rather thin floor, but apparently it is hard to remember to remove wooden floor. Mostly the movie is overcrowded with such scenes and it simply kills the movie completely. I watched it to the end, but it's more of a parody than an action, not a comic parody, ugh, it's hard to explain.

It's a situational thriller with a little boring starter and a fairly boring main character. He's too vanilla, goody two shoes. Which is why I was surprised when the thriller part kicked in, he turned out to be a little... well, a LOT tougher. He fought back the enemies. At first the plot was pretty straight forward. But nearing the end of the movie, there's a pleasant little twist. Not that much, but still pretty good. I mean, at least I didn't expect it at all. And along the thriller scenes, there were some accidental comedic potentials. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it made the movie so much refreshing than before (it was pretty boring TBH). So over all, I think it's good enough for 6 stars.
