HOME INVASION is a straight-to-video B-movie thriller that openly copies PANIC ROOM but comes across as far inferior to the David Fincher film. This one sees an ageing Natasha Henstridge playing a mother who is forced to take refuge her own home alongside her child when it is invaded by a bunch of criminals looking for loot. Her only ally is a security operator on the outside, played by a tired Jason Patric in one of those sitting-at-a-desk type roles. Truth be told, this is a typically cheap and overwrought production, with Henstridge failing to impress and the story piling on one cliche after another. I laughed out loud during some of the attempts at more serious moments. The one highlight is the presence of martial arts expert Scott Adkins in the cast, but sadly he's not enough to save the film - and he doesn't even get to fight.
