Strong and Moving!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Home Invasion stars Jason Patric, Scott Adkins and Natasha Henstridge. And with a descent cast like that you will believe that this movie is actually pretty awesome guess what it's full of mistakes and lazy acting. I really feel bad about Scott Adkins because he could easily be the next Jason Statham and he chose to star in movies like this one. I enjoyed the characters of Henstridge and Patric but other than that the movie is a mess it's predictable at times, the acting is over the top and the lines are just way off and also the bad guys know all this things that the movie never wants to explain in full detail. Home Invasion is a movie that it's easily forgettable!!!

Mother and son living together with a father no where in the picture. Surely this is a deadbeat father that ran with the money on his own. Not quite, instead the mother and son live a life of luxury and are trying to make ends meet in a new location away from the city. As for the father? He has been missing for eight years. Regardless of their lifestyle, someone set up their home to be protected with a home surveillance system. This is what this movie is about.The meat of the movie is about three invaders that are out to collect something from the depths of the home. The mother and son have no idea about it and are about to get caught up in the midst of it. These men are professionals - they have a fourth working on disabling a bridge to prevent the police from crossing. He also packs a gun and binoculars - so he is no stranger to this kind of work. The invaders mostly resort to classic espionage - safe drilling, tranquilizer darts, as well as scare and intimidation tactics. The mother and son on the other hand, are scared for their lives and pulled closer together as they must escape. The only thing they have is a phone, a surveillance technician, and many cameras which are slowly being blocked out.I found the movie dull at somepoints, but otherwise highly enjoyable in others. The escape aspect as well as communicating with technology is a first I've seen in a movie; moreover, having it happen within the depths of a house, with enough dialogue and cinema as well as plot to keep it going was also unexpected. When they focused on the drama and family history in the movie - clearly foreshadowing, without actually going in depth - I found it to be a bit redundant. The movie does get closure, but not in this aspect and is the only flaw I found with it.I recommend this movie as a watch, preferably at night for more effect.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=10772).

Wow! What a pure waste of time watching this film. I mean from start to finish this was by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. So the movies is about these people who Natasha Henstridge's husband have stolen from, and they arrive at her home to exact what is in a safe behind a wall in the house. The story never tells you anything of the who what when where or how or even the contents of the safe. Its just a home invasion of very upscale home in which they now terrorize a mother and her son. The mother calls their home security service and from there the movies just goes completely down hill. Personally I think this was a major slap in the face to 911 emergency and law enforcement, and nothing but a marketing strategy to get more middle to upper class homeowners to invest in security systems. But after watching this simply awful movie, all I wanna do is go out and get a 9mm and two Doberman. If wanna watch good home invasion movie, which most of you have probably already watched, nothing will beat Panic Room.

I was skeptical about this movie. I really didn't wanted to check this out but I did anyways and boyoboy how glad am I. This movie is about a mother and stepson duo who are in a remote mansion(of course! In every home invasion movie there's a remote mansion). But then a trio of murder arrive and the movie starts out. I love such movies. From The Strangers and recent Berkshire County, I loved all of these and this one is on that list too. The acting is great for all I know and the kid is not annoying (wow!). So if you want to watch something and pass time,then watch this. But it's my humble request that please don't be too critical while watching this. Overall, Story: 5/10, it has been done before. Cast: 6/10 Thrill factor: 6.5/10 so the movie gets 7/10.
