A gang of thieves pick the wrong house to rob and are unwittingly overthrown by the home's owners. They are tasered and transported to a field in the middle of nowhere. They are released by their captors and think that their ordeal is over...little do they know that it's only just beginning....
Despite this film's measly rating I'm going to go on record and state that I actually enjoyed this film for the most part... it was entertaining, short, well-paced and the more the film progressed the more of a power struggle ensued which I liked to see. However, part of me can see why the film is rated quite low on IMDB which, I think it's safe to assume is down to some of the dumbass writing.
Much later in the film it's established that Larry Lamb is in cohoots with Samantha Bond and is setting these thieves up. OK fair enough, but then why does Charlie have to break into the van before they get the ball rolling? Also when he starts the van up it sounds like he's just turning the key suggesting the key was inside the van? Hmmm seems like a good idea to leave a key in the ignition of a vehicle on a lovely neighbourhood as depicted in this film.
So the one chance the thieves have at getting an advantage in the film is when Vix plays possum drawing out the weird barely comprehensible dude. Yet despite this guy being unarmed and there being 3 of them (one armed with a baseball bat) they choose to run?? As opposed to say treble teaming him, beating his ass to a pulp and then I don't know getting the keys from him??????
My personal favourite though for sheer ineptitude is when the Eastern european guy (sorry forgot his name) says "I'll double back, follow tracks and meet you at the farm." Seriously? You think that a bunch of toffs with a bunch of highly trained sniffer dogs whom already have your scent wouldn't know that you had done this??? Let's get real here...
A few minutes later, he removes his tourniquet and discards it which apparently fools the dogs into thinking that they have found his scent. Dogs sense of smell (moreso dogs that are trained for this type of thing) is much more sophisticated than that; removing a tourniquet would not fool a dog and throw it off your scent they would still be able to pick your scent up even if you were in your birthday suit and even discounting body smell what about the tracks that the thieves are leaving everywhere? Even if the dogs somehow don't spot these tracks the highly trained tracker would.
One of the toffs has a perfect killshot, but gets distracted by cars coming round the corner? Seriously on his own family's land he is taken aback by cars coming round the corner I mean who did he expect it to be?
Larry Lamb has a shop full of priceless memorabilia, but doesn't use a shutter to protect his business? In 2022?
I found this film entertaining as I said at the start of my review, but it has more holes in it than swiss cheese which I felt obligated to point out. It's enjoyable when viewed in the right context.
DISHONOURABLE MENTION: James Lance's awful singing.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Chaz for using a perfectly timed and well executed Ghostbusters reference.
