A husband and wife find themselves pushed to their absolute limit when they're held for ransom by brutal thugs who invade their home. As tensions escalate and shocking revelations emerge, the couple is forced to take ever-more desperate measures.
I didn't enjoy this movie for a variety of reasons. This movie revolves around a home invasion in which the burglers attempt to get what they want by threatening the members of this family. The only problem is that the family isn't very sympathetic, so I wasn't exactly rooting for them. Also, the robbery itself is far from convincing. The group of burglers are very disorganized, some just take off and hide in some remote part of the house, and (this is a pet peeve of mine) the guy with the shotgun repeatedly racks a round into the chamber for effect (since no shell ever comes out, this would mean it's unloaded). I watched this movie because I was hoping that I'd see good performances by Cage and Kidman in a thriller by Joel Schumacher; however, all three are well past their prime and this movie is a waste of time.
