Enjoyed it
I honestly don’t understand the really nasty reviews here. This is a very well directed thriller with some great acting from the leads & well worth a look. If you are fond of one location thrillers with a good build up of suspense & tension along with fine character development you’ll enjoy it too. If you’re looking for an action-packed thrill-a-minute flick this is not the movie for you. I loved the performances of all three leads – the little girl was excellent – and I thought the direction was exceptionally good – I look forward to seeing what the director can produce in the future as he develops. I have no idea why so many people these days think movies should be direct copies of reality – that’s why they’re movies. They’re not going to be “real” – for that you need to pick up a documentary. That said, the premise of this movie, while requiring some suspension of disbelief, does not stray as far from believability as some of these reviews would have you believe. It’s not brilliant or perfect but it’s a good watch.

It Packs A Lot Of Good Stuff Into Less Than 90 Minutes
I have to honestly say that I wasn’t expecting very much from this movie when I put it on. It had a solid enough cast – the leads are Laurence Fishburne and Thomas Jane (not spectacular actors in my opinion, but decent enough) – but, still, I wasn’t really expecting much out of it. I was surprised – pleasantly. This movie packs a lot into less than an hour and a half and it doesn’t use the traditional formula you expect. That was probably why my expectations were low. I was expecting this to be formulaic. A young girl witnesses a mass shooting at a funeral in a cemetery, gets a picture of the shooter and then has to run for her life to get away from him. She finds refuge in a farmhouse with a veteran who swears he’ll protect her. You expect guns ablazin’ from that point on, but for the most part you don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong. It is violent at times – and unsettling (especially when Sade, the killer, tortures the cop who had come to the house in a bid to get Carter to give up Bird) – but basically this is a psychological thriller. Sade and Carter talk to each other, taunt each other, try to push each other’s buttons. Sade’s on the main floor, Carter and Bird are upstairs. Each has a gun. It’s a stalemate. You watch it unfold as each tries to get an advantage on the other. You can guess how it’s going to end – but you don’t know exactly how it’s going to get there.

I wasn’t sure about Fishburne as the killer. Somehow, he didn’t fit that role for me – but his performance was extremely good, as was Thomas Jane’s as Carter. This was the first time I’d seen Ella Ballentine, who played Bird, and I thought she did a pretty decent job in that role as well. Two things would have made me appreciate this a little more. First, we had no real backstory about the killings. Sade just shows up at the funeral and opens fire. I know that the story was the standoff between Carter and Sade, but I would have appreciated a little bit of knowledge about why the whole situation started. Sade kept referring to his “employer” but we never found out who the employer was, or why Sade had been hired to do the killings. And then the killings themselves. It was a pretty lousy idea, to be honest. Killing people at a cemetery while there’s an interment going on? There would have been cemetery workers around, ready to seal the grave when the service was finished. You don’t just leave graves open. But even if there weren’t for some reason, they’d have to come pretty soon to seal the grave – and they’d surely have been suspicious when they found the grave that they had to close already closed up? So hiding the bodies that way was ridiculous.

Still – this is a really good and tense psychological thriller. It’s simple and straightforward, shot pretty much entirely in the house. It’s a pretty good movie to spend an afternoon with. (7/10)
