Sounds good but I just couldn't bring myself to care

Some scalawags break into a house to steal an old mans treasure only to find he is blind.
As the title suggests he is not a man to be underestimated.
This is a great idea for a movie and it is executed quite well with great production and acting.
It didn't really grab my attention though.
For some reason the scenes where the main characters are sneaking around didn't feel tense, it just felt a bit stupid.
The home owner is strong and determined but is definitely no ninja.
Worst of all I found it hard to bond with the main characters.
They were set up as anti-heroes with good hearts, stuck in an awful situation, but I just couldn't get passed the fact that they were thieves.
I think perhaps in a time where home invasions and burglaries are prevalent in the media and a genuine concern to most homeowners it is hard not to root for the "bad-guy"
Nothing bad -but not much to be excited about either
