Intense Thriller! 4/10

Rating: 4/10 (19 October 2013)

Review: This movie takes a long time to get going, and when it eventually does, I found it a bit sketchy and unbelievable. The whole cult bases was bloody weird and it amazed me how a normal suburban man turned into Johhny Rambo with ease. The storyline then goes from one extreme to another and then reason behind the whole change seemed a bit ridiculous. For entertainment, it is "On The Edge Of Your Sear" stuff, but the ending could have done with a bit of work because your just left with a news documentary to tell you exactly what happened. You can't fault the storyline for originality and intense drama, but the movie could have been much better if the director got on Keith it from the beginning. Watchable!
Round-Up: Ethan Hawke has had quite a strange career because he hasn't done anything that rememberable. The actress that plays his wife, Lena Headey, who is most famous for her roles in the Game Of Thrones and 300, is a bit useless throughout the movie, but she gets some balls near the end, when she is pushed to the limit. The kids were rude and annoying, and the boy has a strange look from the beginning to the end of the film, but I'm sure that he will play a big part of the sequel which is planned for next year.
Budget: $3million Worldwide Gross: $87million (WOW!)
I recommend this movie to people who are into there thriller/action movies based around a family have to protect themselves from criminals in there home. 4/10
