I was really hoping for a good movie, but it was the typical home invasion type of movie, and as always, the intruders were not the brightest.
I wouldn't say it's a terrible movie, as there are some good moments to it, but sadly also a lot of bad.
One thing i noticed the most about it, is, Ajiona Alexus (Jasmine), almost the only line she had through out the movie (Which was a lot, i totally lost count) was how many times she kept saying "Mom", i've never seen anything so simple before, and boring at the same time...
Sadly i think it could have been a good movie, it was just a very predictable experience, and i've seen so many of these home invasion movies, and this one was just like 99% of the others!
I couldn't give myself to give it a 5 / 10 stars, but i was mildly entertained at points.
Would i recommend it? Well that sure depends on your taste, doesn't it? If you like most other home invasion movies, with a house that has a crazy security system, total surveillance, hidden safe, then yeah, go for it, then i'm sure you will like this one too... But, if you've already seen a ton of such movies, then this one will probably not be anythiing that will give you any surprises.

I wasnt expecting too much from this flick. I went ahead and watched it because I'm a huge Gabrielle Union fan.
I was impressed with how there were small details about the aesthetic of the film that captured my interest. The small mundane font that was used for the opening credits made it have an indie film feel, which immeadiatley caught my eye. As the film went on, I could see how the dialogue was slightly disjointed but got to the point in a timely way. Union's performance was pretty awesome, just because she has such a command of the screen. She really personified that emblem of a mother trying to protect her babies. The writing of the film wasn't the best. That did get mildly in the way of the overall effect the film could've had. In short it was an enjoyable thriller/action flick.

I have no idea who wrote this script but they need to take a few classes. Dialing 911 will not show up in your call log. For the reason shown in the film. Why did her husband show up at the exact wrong time and not call the police when he saw blood?
This is nothing new. Been done 100 times. Not bad...but just...nothing i haven't seen before. Cheesy yet watchable. But...
