The Surprise Visit

Nothing original, nothing interesting. But they made a movie anyway. The production wasn't bad, the acting was decent. There are the two stars in my rating. Normally I would give this one a (low because of stupid, predictable, overused character actions), but I'm also deducting two points for the truly stupid fake reviews. "Solid movie," John Smith? Shameful, backfired self promotion. Paycheck role for Eric Roberts; would have been better, seemed more real, without him in it.

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.

Omg the girlfriends acting is horrendous. The acting of the others is much far off. Don't waste your time! The girlfriend is so dumb and the boyfriend isn't much far off. To be criminals, you have to have some street smarts. Dumb dumb dumb.

Every other review is correct about the low level of acting, writing, editing, fight choreography, etc... everything is very stupid and poorly done. It is shot relatively well, with proper lighting and sound, so I'm assuming it is somewhere in the level of a Lifetime movie (middle-aged woman protagonist in a robe and everything.)

Nothing is original, so my review won't be either. I'm pretty sure I've seen every one of my comments in the other 1-2 star reviews. Eric Roberts is undoubtedly the only real credential, and I'm sure his face and his name were only used to sell the movie. He is very limited throughout.

Overall, don't waste your time. It doesn't come across as a thrilling home-invasion flick. It comes across like a depressing look at how a botched robbery would end up if a disabled couple also smoked meth.

Awful movie. Awful acting, bad choreography, and terrible script. The only good actor is Eric Roberts and his screen time is minimal. The rest is a train wreck.
