lackadaisical search
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.

A bad copy of "Panic Room"...
"Home Invasion" is a Crime - Drama movie in which we watch three intruders breaking into a house to steal something from a safe while a mother with her son are trapped inside and they are trying to stay safe.
I have to admit that I did not expect much from this movie and I was not disappointed after watching it. It was just another average crime movie which was consisted of very few good scenes, a simple but boring plot and some very poor interpretations made by its cast. The direction which was made by David Tennant was below average and I believe that he did not reach his potential despite the simple plot of the movie. Finally, I have to say that I do not recommend anyone to watch this movie and if you want to watch a far better version of this movie just watch the movie "Panic Room" of 2002.

I Would Have Given 8 If There Were Closure
Great actors, great story, very suspenseful and well done. Only thing is that they forgot to give it an ending. It's one of those good films where at the end you ask yourself, "I spent all that time and now this"? The movie is about crooks looking for something, but they never tell you what that something is.
I enjoyed the movie and Jason Patric is awesome
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
Nifty little nail biter
Not a great film by any means. But it does what it does well. There are some holes in the plot. The plot itself is predictable and a little ridiculous. But if, like us, you were looking for some diversion on a nasty November night, it kept us entertained and awake. This is a Canadian film. It was shot in British Columbia. And although they don't specifically set it in Canada, they also do not Americanize and bastardize a Canadian city as so many of these films do. We have to sell our films but we should draw the line at selling our identity. Many Canadian filmmakers don't understand that The bad guys are really bad. The kid is a brat. And they never tell us the whos and whys behind the home invasion. The acting and the camera work are very good. Good stuff if you have have a rainy evening to kill.
