Storm Warning (2007)
4/10
Great performances wasted on silly plot.

'Storm Warning' started off well, but soon degenerated into one of the silliest movies I've seen for a long time. Its the classic tale of Pia & Rob, two well to do urbanites who fall foul of the inhabitants of a secluded farmhouse. Facing likely death, it is the woman Pia who takes on the three deranged villains. It's obvious the captors were not supposed to be smart, but the level of stupidity they display is incredible - would anyone imprison captives in a barn full of potential weapons? Earlier in the movie while Pia was fishing, she was so physically inept she couldn't manage to reel in a fish, but she miraculously turns into a female John Rambo whenever the plot requires it. Add a bloodthirsty guard dog who conveniently disappears every time Pia is running about and other implausible actions by all you have a very disappointing movie. On the plus side, the performances from all involved are excellent, but they deserved to be in a better written movie than this one. Gore fans will love it though.
