Blind Revenge

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2017)

This has been done before, with the protagonists being women instead of a man; Audrey Hepburn in "wait Until Dark" and Mia Farrow in "See No Evil" were blind victims avoiding bad people. "Don't Breathe" changes it to a military veteran who turns out to be the wrong person to attack. Two men and a woman rob houses using information obtained by a guy whose father runs a home alarm company and so he has the codes to disable the alarms. The trio hear of a large amount of cash in the blind mans house and they figure it should be easy pickings. Not so fast, boys and girl, this victim is one tough son of a bitch with a vicious Rottweiler to provide an extra layer of nastiness. The trio have several violent encounters with the sightless Rambo, and this leads to an extremely entertaining hour and a half. There are some plot holes but the actors are competent and "Don't Breathe is an above average thriller.
