I don't know if a break in can be accurately described as a surprise visit? I mean that is a pun that I would make or a joke I would use. For movie purposes that is - not real life situations, just to be clear.
Eric Roberts - I wonder a lot has been said about Nicolas Cage popping movies left and right (though he always delievers no matter how good or bad the script is/was) and about Bruce WIllis - though we now know why he did so many. He needed to make retirement money. No one seems to be talking about Eric Roberts - but why should they. He is doing his thing - sometimes it may feel like he is phoning it in too - but he has the charisma to still pull anything off anyway.
He of course is not the main character here. They are not as easily likeable I'd say - but you may understand their motives anyway. A decent enough thriller with enough surprises - even if nothing too exciting maybe.

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse...
1 Star. I would give 0 Stars, but the rating system won't allow it.
Let me break it down for you. Any movie with Eric Roberts in it is AUTOMATICALLY on my bottom-feeder movie list. He is a terrible wannabe actor.
I am honestly so shocked at how bad this movie was, that I won't even bother explaining it. Story was horrible, acting was horrible, effects were horrible, and the list goes on.
Avoid at all cost!

The film really doesn't have much going on, probably because the budget was so low and the writing couldn't get over that. Basically you have two meth heads that find out they're going to be parents so they plan to rob a rich person's home only things go wrong (big surprise).
What occurs is an accidental murder and a whole lot of lame dialogue between three characters that seems to on forever, where's the jewels, we gotta kill her, and you can't do it. The most annoying of the three is Serah Henesey's loud screeching voice, it's so bad I got a headache. Seriously, did no one in post production hear this?
The end of the film is typical and is so expected. Bottom line, if you wanna see a whole lot of crack/meth smoking, arguments a plenty, and very little things occuring it's for you. For everyone else, you'll need to be on meth to enjoy it.

The most hideous awful movie ! Don't waste your time ! Everything about it bad ! I am shocked Eric Roberts accepted the role to be in this not true movie that bait clicks you into wasting your time that is not based on a true story! What a joke ! I'd rather watch paint dry!
The story was simple but ok. The acting was horrible. I only rated it 3 stars because I've seen worse believe it not. Anyone who rates this highly must be relatives of the actors.
