Home Invasion

I very much enjoyed this movie and think people need to give it a chance. It's about caring also not just terror. Jason Patric is great in his role and shows the length a person would go to save another. Yes some of the scenes are repetitive, but in that situation for real that's exactly what would happen even without someone walking you through it. I feel this movie is not a waste of time to watch and fact is home invasions do happen all the time. This film was realistic and not overdone and fake. Everyone has their own opinions,this just happens to be mine.Take 85 minutes and give this movie a try. It was entertaining and definitely worth the time. I am glad I stumbled upon it

I was skeptical about this movie. I really didn't wanted to check this out but I did anyways and boyoboy how glad am I. This movie is about a mother and stepson duo who are in a remote mansion(of course! In every home invasion movie there's a remote mansion). But then a trio of murder arrive and the movie starts out. I love such movies. From The Strangers and recent Berkshire County, I loved all of these and this one is on that list too. The acting is great for all I know and the kid is not annoying (wow!). So if you want to watch something and pass time,then watch this. But it's my humble request that please don't be too critical while watching this. Overall, Story: 5/10, it has been done before. Cast: 6/10 Thrill factor: 6.5/10 so the movie gets 7/10.

Chloe (Natasha Henstridge) and her stepson Jacob live on an island community. They are being targeted by a group of masked invaders. She calls home security and gets Mike (Jason Patric).

There are occurrences that don't pass the smell test. They don't seem right even if they are not impossible. It should be the easiest thing for these armed intruders to find Chloe and take her captive. One of their first objective should be getting the situation under control. They seem almost lackadaisical in their search. It should be more compelling action for them to escape into the rain. I know filming in the rain really sucks but as it stands, this movie doesn't work. On top of that, the home security stuff also seems unlikely. The only part I truly like is the bridge. The rest is less than thrilling.

Definitely worth a watch but it was hard to root for any of the main characters. My jaw dropped several times at the stupid decisions they made along with the criminals. The end very disappointing and anticlimactic. Pretty cliche premise but I think the execution was good enough to still be enjoyable.

Well-directed and acted. Pacing was good and the tension was maintained, except for a bit somewhere in the middle.

Only bugbear is that home security's role wasn't significant enough. I expected Mike to be the eyes and ears for Chloe, literally guiding her through the escape (this idea was done excellently in the film See For Me). However, it turns out that his involvement throughout was mostly patchy and lacked coherence. Nice idea at the end though.
