Don't waste your time

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2014)

I only sat through this movie because I was stuck on an aircraft with not much else to watch. I was expecting a Sci-Fi thriller that explored the issues of the violent nature of the human psyche and the proposed effect of a nation-wide period of sanctioned violence.
Rather, this movie rapidly deteriorates into a fairly boring (and predictable) house survival film. Plot holes you could drive a truck through, and the old: "OMG, I'm trapped in my house, I think I should creep slowly around every corner and wait for the suspenseful music to warn me of a potential adversary...".
Ethan Hawke deserves better...
