Mediocre at best

Rating: 2/10 (10 June 2013)

If you take this movie for what it was billed as (a quick thriller/slasher story) it falls short simply because every character is just so extremely stupid and cliché that it's distracting - and those are the people that we know. We simply are not given enough information on any of the "bad" people to care one way or the other about them. The only thing they all seem to have in common is that they all have almost no self-preservation instinct. I don't usually mind shutting down my brain a bit for this sort of thing, but there are limits. And if I'm supposed to be rooting for somebody or hoping to see the villains get clobbered, then they've got to make me care about them a bit more in order to give it some entertainment value.
Now if we take this movie for what the writers want us to, then it's just plain insulting. Clearly the idea is that "rich people suck." You might try to make a case for it being more complicated than that, but I'm not buying it. I'm sure that this is just the latest round of Hollywood's "villain du jour" but I can't help but wonder why they can't just make a simple thriller/slasher flick where the characters are not totally moronic, the villains have at least some small amount of depth, and I don't have to spend extra time trying to ignore the blatant politicizing.
