Thanks for the memories!
Memorable, crazy movie
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Terrible. Just Terrible. Bad story line. Terrible acting. Just frantic out of control characters making stupid decisions. If you like Insane character that are screaming and crying constantly then watch this, otherwise stay away.Anti-climatic ending. I hated it and the actors.
Three dirty bombs go off in L.A. which mean the whole city is on lockdown. This movie follows the story of a man living near the city with his wife. All we see is him doing what the radio tells him to do for 90 minutes.This would make a good educational video if it wasn't sold as a disaster movie. It just teaches you how authorities say "We're here to help you" while pointing a gun in your face.Unless you're going to make a disaster movie which shows us what's happening then don't bother. Having a radio playing reports over and over is very dull and extremely lazy.
A poisonous bomb is set-off spreading a toxic cloud across Los Angeles. Brad seals himself in his house for his own survival, however, he becomes torn between letting his wife back in to their home or leaving her outside to die.Chris Gorak direction and camera work gives a sense of realism and he gives the viewer a cleverly written ending. There is some tension created especially when the gas masked army personnel want to get access to his house. Gorak's screenplay is dark and grim. It explores self-preservation, moral decisions and ones conscience.The acting is first rate and natural, Mary McCormack is great and Rory Cochrane is excellent as Brad, a normal everyday guy. However, Right at Your Door appears to run out of steam midway through, not knowing what to do with the characters.Carriers (2009) appears to have borrowed a lot from Gorak's offering, but like Carriers it's not a film you'd want to sit thought again.Overall, an emotional great idea that's well made but becomes monotonous.
Thanks, Fox for cancelling 24. This is what you get. You'll see how much we appreciate Jack as he would've absolutely adverted this movie's catastrophe. If they hadn't cancelled 24, I would've just assumed this was one of Jack's day off.Right at Your Door tells the story of several dirty bombs going off in downtown LA causing all kinds of havoc, sickness, and chaos it caused. But more directed towards a married couple, one stay at home male and his female counterpart who supports the (new) household. In fact, she's on her way to work when the bombs go off and she lands directly in the middle one of the dirty bombs.The male half, Brad (played wonderfully by Cochrane) goes after her, but is forced back home and when a neighbor comes over, they're both forced to seal off the new home to avoid contamination. It's so new, no cable installed yet – so no TV on for the news, just radio. Also, the a/c's not on, so it's enormously hot. Wife Lexi, (McCormack) returns, but too late to get into the house. As much as Brad loves her – and Cochrane sincerely shows this, he still can't allow her in, unless he would just be as damned as she's turning out to be due to the infected air/bomb.The rest of the movie plays on the confusion, claustrophobic atmosphere, hopelessness and conversations between the couple through plastic. It was an interesting story, a more human approach to a huge terrorist disaster in a major city. The movie screams Independent cinema and/or the theatre. So, if that's your bag, you should see this. Even if you're not, the performances are above notch and worth your time.
