This home invasion thriller hits the ground running and doesn't stop until the last frame. The cast was full of names you've never heard of, which made the characters that much more believable. The acting was uniformly great, from the particularly nasty trio of invading brothers to the littlest child victim. The non-stop action keeps attention riveted to the screen...there wasn't one boring moment. The writing is innovative, non-formulaic. Family members you don't expect to die do, one of the bad guys turns out to be unexpectedly kind, and the youngest family member is surprisingly resourceful. If you want a terrific good vs. evil ride, full of suspense and colorful characterizations, this one's for you!
