Not bad but requires some suspension of disbelief to enjoy

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2020)

I actually enjoyed this one but it does fly off into "ok that doesn't make a lot of sense" territory sometimes. It definitely requires you to kind of turn off your brain and just accept some things every once in a while.
The entire movie happens around one small house and I have to say this was all pretty well done. Everything is set up at the beginning of the movie so you're never left asking, "Wait why is there a gun under the bed?" The first half hour or so really does have you on the very edge of your seat wondering what's gonna happen next and a lot of the silent moments throughout the film succeed in making one hold their breath.
The characters are all pretty unlikable people but they have their redeeming qualities which, I thought, was actually quite refreshing. They're robbers planning to rob a blind old war veteran, they're SUPPOSED to be bad, unlikable people but we're still supposed to care if they die or not and the film succeeds in creating a bit of sympathy for them. You're left between "I hope they get out safe" and "yeah they deserve what's coming" a lot of the time. Also, the lack of an "I've always loved you" between Rocky and Alex is one cliché I'm happy the filmmakers managed to resist.
The pregnant rich woman chained up in the basement seemed a little unnecessary and ridiculous and I personally think the movie could have done without that and the man attempting to impregnate one of the protagonists with a turkey baster. The plot would have been better without adding all that in my opinion. Also some of the blind veteran's lines seemed a little bit silly when it comes time for him to speak.
All in all, a decent movie that's definitely enjoyable but has its flaws.
