Crawlspace

A pretty unremarkable film, but one that I did see through to the end.

Elliot from E. T is working in a crawl space under a wooden house. Up above him the bad guys are looking for some ill gotten loot.

It seems to have some unintentional slapstick to it, because I laughed a few times although probably for the wrong reasons!

Someone has compared it slightly to Home Alone, but I'd say Harry and Marv were intellectually smarter than the two inept baddies in this!

If you're really stuck for something to watch then give it a go. I'm sure you'll have better ideas of what should be done in certain situations compared to what was actually done.

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.

Although the whole idea and premise of the movie was workable and a good idea, the script writers totally screwed the movie over. There is far too many examples of people ignoring common sense, unrealistic police procedures, and a lot or bad acting mostly from the plumber. And it is really bad when a character talks to themselves out of context to extend the plot. The plot twist was ok, but watching this movie made me angry while watching the characters completely ignore common sense.

The opening 5 minutes were perfect, I was surprised how carefully the scenes were written... and then Henry Thomas and Olivia Taylor Dudley entered and I was looking at porn-level acting. I'm not exaggerating, they can't act! Then Jennifer Robertson appeared and she was worse... and then the rest, each one worse than the previous one.

This film could have been good, enjoyable mindless fun, but the actors are beyond anything you would imagine in terms of bad, bad acting.

If they ever make a remake with *real* actors and they even hire a director, I'll watch it. Until then, I'm sorry, it's a hard no.

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.
