Victoria is almost your usual everybody-thinks-I'm-crazy Lifetime heroine, but puts in a better performance than most as do the rest of the cast. there's good chemistry between the husband and wife, and the daughter was a lot less snooty, as Lifetime usually dictates. their family actually seemed to truly love each other.

The dialogue and shooting style are what separate this from most of these women in jeopardy thrillers that Lifetime has cornered the market on.

And wait, what a truly suspenseful character?... Michael Hogan plays probably the creepiest neighbor ever. Good monologue about his dead dog, kind of like a Kathy Bates Misery unstable character-feel. Would've liked to see more of his character. He's the kind of actor that when he talks, you lean in and listen. All in all, Confined is a fun ride for a small budget movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

I don't really see it as a feminist film, but rather an empowerment of the human spirit. the world is coming down around them and is it because they are women that they go on the lam? no it's because they are friends who support each other. this is a film about friendship not about the ERA. If it were two men, they wouldn't say anything, it would simply be called a buddy-drama. A good story that you can watch over and over along with a great but too brief Brad Pitt cameo, Thelma and Louise delivers on many different levels. It doesn't talk down to its audience or preach to them. And what about the ending? Amazing! I'm surprised the studios let them even shoot it, let alone put it in the final film. Thelma and Louise is one of those rare gems that will span the test of time and remind us what truly good films and truly great friendships can accomplish.
