Only in a film!

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2019)

Every last breath ...
By the time you get to the house, where most of the movie will takes place, you see what the stakes are. You can *imagine* being trapped under those conditions, see, 'cause ... what if you *don't* back down? What have you got to lose? At what point *isn't* in your best interest to just "put up and shut up" with everything the cops have to say? And not just in terms of some general overriding principle, or something you have to live with later ... something not just that makes you say "Damn!" and kick at the ground and spit and punch a wall because you shouldn't've, you shouldn't've let them *talk* to you that way ... but ... what if it tilts the applecart itself, right then, in terms of violence being acts done, in terms of "they're not leaving soon, what'll get us through 'till morning?" decisions at the micro-meter, a-hair'll-do-it sort of influence?
What if the scales are tipped, are that sensitive, and, you can think what you want to, but ... you have to walk this, tread this very very carefully?
What if you can't?
(This is why this is a *movie*. This is what the medium is *for*).
