Powerful

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A violent Home Alone - WHAT A GREAT IDEA!Such a shame the action was poorly choreographed , the acting from most of the cast was lamentable almost laughable and the guy who reviewed it and said it had ultimate gore I don't know what he was watching but I was expecting a real gorefest after reading his review but what we got was run of the mill - In short it is not that gory or "ultimate" violence at all , it is just your standard execution but with some really poor special effects that I could have done up the local woods with my pals lol.I was expecting some really inventive tactics for example; the car park scene how about crushing the bald guy by driving a car into him splatting him against a wall and trapping him then getting out with the baseball bat and smashing his head in or how about instead of a silly branch in the forest smacking the bald guys leg having a Malay Gate smeared with excrement and spiking the other bald guy right through the eye and leaving him squealing in pain to die slowly - now that is what I would call gore and extreme violence and would have made the movie out of the ordinary.It started off so well but just petered away into tame run of the mill storyline and bad acting - the main protagonist I don't think he actually said one line in the whole film just gave us his nasty boy stare - he was supposed to be ultra violent but ended up offing the bad guys in rather bland ways!Great start to the movie, great idea for a story but so poorly executed and acted it lost what could have been 7 stars for me!

This movie was one of those films that was a great surprise. I'd seen the trailer and read a little about this film but I wasn't expecting what I'd just seen. It was great from start to finish, the acting, the story (especially) and the action were all top notch. And Derek Mears played his part very well. It was one of those movies (for me) that I'd be very happy to watch again and again, and I'm glad I own it. The action is quite violent too, which for me is always a huge bonus. I'd put it in the same category as 'A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE' (Viggo Mortensen). If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. So I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

I voted awful, yes awful. There was not reason for this film to be made. It has nothing special, the story is boring. The score is crappy and does mostly not fit. I fast forwarded after my patience dropped to 0.Why did someone decide to make this film, was he expecting that anybody could be interested in such a lame, and copycat-ed story?Also the actors, where did they come from? Some circus freak show? The problem with such films is: 1) They are worth nothing, but you payed 2) They cost time, where you could do better things 3) You rage afterward, as you realize fact 1 and fact 2 4) Your mood is near to 0 after completing point 3Please, if anybody in charge for this crap reads this, stop making films or finance it etc. Also please stop posting reviews that this is the best film in the world. It stinks, the whole flick stinks.

Four heavily armed hit men and two unusual teenagers go to war over $500,000 of stolen cash.The film is advertised as "Home Alone" with more death. And, yes, I can certainly see that. Granted, it is not funny (unless you spend your 85 minutes making fun of the lead character's stupidity and terrible outfits). And it is not Christmas. But, the basic concept is there.The real selling point for me was the reunion of Dana Ashbrook and Ray Wise ("Twin Peaks"). If you have not seen Ashbrook in a while, you may not recognize him (twenty years later and he is no Bobby Briggs). I can only imagine what it must have been like being on set for the scenes they share.The plot in general is a bit convoluted. Just a bit. You might wonder how the first half is in any way connected to the second. They run together, the film just has a few false starts before it gets going. But, it is relatively short, which I think is a strength -- rather than drag on, the creators knew how to keep the pace going.
