Cast: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell(Annie), Pierce Brosnan(Hammond), Sterling Jerins(Lucy) and Claire Geare(Beeze)
Director: John Erick Dowdle
Genre: Action, Crime, Thriller
Nail biting thriller. Its disturbing but a quality watch!
You may look forward to:
- Owen Wilson is breath taking in this film. I have always seen him in light headed drama, he carries out the terror driven role perfectly well in this film. He is the one to watch out for
- Lake Bell is equally good shoulder to shoulder with Owen Wilson
- Pierce Brosnan has an intriguing role, he delivers some rather controversial dialogues while being heroic in saving the lead family
- What really works for the film is the script which at all times keeps you at the edge. There are continuous incidents one after another, much in despair where you hardly see any way out. Some desperate moments and actions very carefully handled by John Erick Dowdle. Most of the nitty gritties of a war torn country are well thought about and presented with a steamy outlook. Even though you know its a movie, you still are never sure what would the next scene be or how will the family meet its end
What you can sleep over:
Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare are pretty irritating in the first half, gets better by the second half
The dampeners you should be aware of:
No apparent lose ends, except for the fact that this movie can leave your mind disturbed on multiple grounds
My Rating: 4/5
1- Poor 2-Average 3-Good 4-Very Good 5- Outstanding
