The majority of the film is a girl crying and Bella Throne driving. The twist does pay off towards the end, it did take me a second to figure out what was going on..so that redeems it but overall a bit boring.

This movie is about a robbery gone bad. And revenge.
It is a very poor attempt at a heist film.
The revenge aspect of this movie is no better.
The thieves don't elicit any sympathy. They are ill-prepared, not clever at all, just ruthless. The actors have neither the skill nor the apparent inclination to give the audience much of anything. Admittedly, their uninspired lines are a major impediment.
The reveal during the third act is so badly rendered, it had me shaking my head. Did the director/screenwriter finish this script during a weekend bender?
Were the director and cast members double parked on the studio lot during this part of shooting the movie, and wanted these scenes in the can before their vehicles were towed?
Save your time, and your money. Watch something else.

If this was actually about two art robberies, then it would maybe make a little more sense. But even then, I don't see it. If Casey morphed into Rose, then I guess I get it a little bit, but still most of the movie went right over my head. I'm usually pretty good at following this kind of stuff, so all I can say is it must have been badly done. I don't even know who was still alive at the end, apart from Casey.
Painful to watch

Well, I watched it all the way through just to see if it got any better. It didn't. Still can't understand why wearing a mesh fencing mask somehow makes you sound like a cross between Darth Vader and Lord Humongous from Mad Max 2...
As for the plot, it's dreadful. Having been told he has '37 minutes' to remove all the artwork from the house before they return, we then have to watch the worlds slowest burglary. Firstly he moves the body of the babysitter he'd battered to death. For what reason? The floor is still covered in blood, now with extra drag marks!
Then we have to watch as he sets out a full tool kit, making sure each tool is lined up perfectly. Then gets out ANOTHER tool roll, only to select a file from the first one. He could have kept that in his pocket... A file?... to cut a canvas from its frame? If this wasn't bad enough we have to watch him go through the same ridiculous charade for the next painting! No rush mate, you sort your tools out.
The daughter, Casey, finds the perfect hiding place in the attic where she sits and hides, and could have stayed there unseen all night. But no, for no reason at all, she decides to do a balancing act along the rafters, predictably falling through the ceiling.
None of it makes sense. Was the plan just a burglary? In which case why didn't they get in and out as quickly as possible, or was it revenge and the intention was to kill them all anyway. If that was the case, why the charade of 'stalling' the home owners return to give the burglars more time? The whole film was ridiculous, and quite frankly painful to watch.
If you removed the pointless tool bag scenes, and the endless scenes of burglars looking for the girl under beds and in cupboards, the film would have a runtime of about ten minutes.

BORING oh my god
Tibbletoad20 July 2021
I watched this movie, and by god is it boring.
The twist at the end, A neat one mind you, just cannot save this movie.
The acting at the start is bad, Thorne doesn't show the range this role needed.
Alyvia Alyn Lind is the only one who's acting is actually not that bad.
But ever since Daybreak i am expecting her to be able to make it far.

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Everything about it is terrible. I'll only highlight a few.
The dialogue is atrocious. Every line is like the most basic possible way to say something. Almost like this movie was written for ESL students.
The character decisions are so bad, to the point where a couple of them broke my brain. I had to take a moment to process how stupid it was.
I never thought Bella Thorne was a good actress, but omg I didn't think she was this bad. I think it's safe to say her acting career is going nowhere. (1 viewing, 2/13/2022)
SPOILERS
There are so many things that make no sense. The entire movie makes no sense. I can't list them all. Here is what I remember.
Why did the bad guys need to wait until the parents were on the way, giving them a 37 minute time limit?
Why did the wife need to go to the circuit box with the husband? He wanted her to say when the lights came on, but she came and stood right next to him. He could have easily seen.
Why would the girl jump through the floor? All she had to do is stay up there. Instead she jumps down where the bad guys can easily get her.
I saved the best for last. 90% of this movie's conflict is trying to find the hiding girl. But I couldn't stop asking, why? Why do you need to find her? What role does finding her play in the plan? I kept waiting for them to reveal why. They don't. It's a completely fabricated conflict. And it lasts for an hour. Unbelievable!

Total mess ,highly predictable
balanvivek25 July 2021
This is a total dud film ,didn't expect from Bella t such a good actress choosing a weak script which goes no where ....it's a revenge plot and as the film starts if you watch properly you know what's going to happen....the reason why I am giving 4 stars is for the performance it was honest and atmosphere created was good but a poorly written screenplay..even actors cant help ....there was no need dragging the film for a simple revenge plot ....after half n hour you are left bored and feel like nothings gonna happen...total mess ...
Seems the other reviewers have missed the key device
fmansoor23 July 2021

Ok so no one is going win any Oscars but the other reviewers seem to have missed that the whole movie is the juxtaposition of sequence from two separate robberies. The second one an act of revenge for the first. The little girl Kasey is also the grown up Rose.
Very bad
asalcewicz22 March 2022
Not good in any way. This would have made a bad short film, but was inexplicably stretched out to feature length. So many unwarranted filler shots, almost as many underwhelming performances. Do yourself a favor and watch paint dry instead.
A good thriller, Understand the movie then write here
arrmeen4 August 2021
I am surprised by the low ratings here , but then I realized most of them didn't even understand the movie and have English problem cause their reviews are badly written too. This movie is a not fast paced but doesn't bore you either , it has a good story and a very good twist which I am sure no one saw coming, if someone says they predicted it, they're fooling here. The director has done a good job with a tight screenplay and good actors do their job.
Stupid people understand the movie first then write your idiotic comments.

My whole purpose watching this movie was Bella Thorne, even her other movies were of the same reason. I'd say if she was to get mentioned somewhere I'd probably go off and watch that too. The movie is decent and decent acting, i was compelled enough to watch it all the way through.
Confusing to say the least...

unique unpredictable thriller
NijazBaBs9 August 2021
This is not the usual horror. The closest to this I can remember is Hushed. It has unpredictable end, it is mysterious, and it explains everything at the end, although bit too unclear or complicated. Unlike in most thrillers here we could see somebody so innocent looking getting badly hurt, so no censorship. Blood looks bit fake and story looks unfinished unfortunately. But at least unpredictable.
Most unprofessional thieves ever!!

Weak
Stoshie23 December 2021
This was the longest 80 minute film I've ever seen. The majority of the film is summed up in, "Where is she?".
Some reviewers here brag that they (and only they) understood the big reveal at the end. Sorry, but you aren't that special. And you also missed the hole in that twist that you could drive a truck through.
By the time one gets to the end and sees the twist ending, it's hard to care. If you are feeling masochistic, you could watch the movie again to "get" the twist. But is it worth it? No.

This is not a good movie. I won't pretend that it is. However, so many reviewers clearly did not pay attention! This movie was not confusing. It was very straightforward.
The "twist" ending was so obvious. At 9 minutes in, Rose says "You know, one day I want to have exactly what you have." Bam. I already knew what was happening. Other hints are when Olivia checks in with the babysitter and tells her husband their daughter "fell asleep on the couch and is going into her own bed." They are clearly discussing a very young child. No one would mention an 11 year old sleeping in her own bed. There are more examples but these are some of the most blatant.
People commenting that it makes no sense for the burglars to wait until the parents are on their way home to rob them were not paying attention. Olivia and Daniel are not Casey's parents and the burglars are not robbing Olivia and Daniel's house!
The plot of this movie was so simplistic, the "twist" so evident, that an 11 year old of average intelligence could figure it out. Anyone saying the movie makes no sense should be embarrassed. There is no mystery, the plot is weak, predictable, and simple, but if you actually watch the film you will understand what is happening.

Warning: Spoilers
Daniel (Austin Nichols) and Olivia (Mircea Monroe) are art dealers who reside in Kentucky. They are hosting a charity event at the Peerless. Rose (Bella Thorne) offers to drive them home. We know early that Rose is working with burglars who are in the act of stealing art. Daughter Casey (Alyvia Alyn Lind) loves horror films and is at home with a sitter (Joana Metrass). Spoiler: Don't get too attached to the sitter.
I like the heart beat drums that made a simple home break-in art heist intense. Casey hid in the attic because she watches horror films and the thieves don't know to look for her there because they don't. The ending was a bit messed up as this was more than a simple heist.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Okay so the message of this movie is if someone harms you it means you can go for revenge. Two wrongs make a right. And do deal with death the first natural instinct is to steal art...
That is what this movie is. One long "you stole from my family so me killing and torturing yours is okay"
The movie is so dumb. Like actual dumb. It makes The Purge look like a Harold Pinter play.
Acting ranges from AmDram to Uni quality with barely a handful of scenes where the acting is anything other than budget. The worst actor happens to be the lead... Somehow... Ironically she has a more dynamic range when wearing a fencing mask...
But the plotholes are massive:
Backgground checks... When working with art in the UK you have a CRB check. In the US you also need social number. Add that to the fact that what happened to "rose" was in the news and massive...
The other problem is art is rarely stolen. Forged, yes. A lot. But stolen? Its not impossible to steal a painting but it is impossible to sell one. If you find a buyer they cant authenticate it nor insure it... A stolen painting is worthless. That is why criminals go for the much harder to steal and heavier to move gold and diamonds.
That is why the Hatton Garden Heist was a thing, and a group of women have stolen from the royal mint yet nobody has ever stolen a painting from the Tate, BMA or Manchester Lowry.
This is before we get into the whole idea that people traumatised from violence become violent... Erm... No. PTSD actually more manifests as jumping, crying and panic attacks...
Im not marking this as spoilers cause the "twist" is obvious within the first few scenes (if you hadn't worked it all out by the restroom scene where she even says "I wanna have what you have" cause the writers are so pretentious they think that such a line shows intellectual foreshadowing. It doesn't. It's cringe. And way obvious.
Knew from the start she was a "bad guy" and that the film at the end would try to say "she is really just a victim of blah blah blah" ... And I am sure in the creators head if Hitler had been in a camp when a child it would justify the holocaust... It doesn't. Nobody with a rational mind would think that. The same way as nobody accepts when a child abuser uses the fact they were abused as an excuse.
I have been robbed in the street, and beaten up. I got told if I wasn't quite they would use the weapons they had. Afterwards I went to the police and have gone back to my normal life, albeit a little anxious about going out at night on my own. It certainly didn't turn me into one of them.
This movie feels like some psycho idiots wet dream. I am guessing the writer got robbed and this is their fantasy... Cause they sure seem healthy... Huh.
Also quick question: at 53 mins she goes into a bedroom and clearly there is power - an outlet is literally lit up. Right of the screen. That red dot. So when the power is cut in the USA that means wall outlets are still powered? I am guessing someone left their vape batteries on charge. Or something else hollywood preppy.
Also to the review above about Daybreak and Alicia... she is such a bad actress...Literally another blonde haired blue eyed nothing to blend in with the literal millions of others... I mean how many are there? I mean do we need this many? The only one worth a damn is Caity Lotz. But from the dumb bint that plays Stargirl all the way up to Margot Robbie... Do we need them? They are the same actress...
This movie is the epitome of leftist LA: Bland, lacking depth, lacking cohesion or logic, lacking structure and lacking any merit... But it looks good and everyone is attractive and not one person is overweight... But but but but Wahmen is main star, wahmen is bad guy and the two male characters are non entities... LOL. The left is so fake. It cries about not enough black people winning oscars whilst we still wait for someone from Bollywood, the worlds biggest producer of movies, to even get a nod. Or like how long it took for non US animations to win anything with the likes of Le Triplets De Bellville and Spirited Away. To think that Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc have won nothing... Meanwhile Titanic, the worlds most hated movie (well in the UK it's been voted the worst 10 years running) is also one of the most award winning along with awful "lets rip off dances with wolves" Avatar.
As Ricky Gervais pointed out... Hollywood still has a lot to answer for whilst it preaches to us... Epstein and Weinstein was all of your friends, not the movie going public.

r-garton-91322 December 2021
With indie small budget full feature films getting easier to produce and getting distribution thanks to streaming, this film is not bad. You have a unkown cast as with most low budget shoots like this but you have to get over that and just enjoy that. I see too many arm chair critics wanting A list actors and MGM-Universal Studio level production values. Move on then. This you will not find. Up and coming indie productions like this are meant to entertain you as you pass the the time, not waiting for the oscars.

A little confusing to begin with. But all makes sense at the end. I thought it was brill the way 2 story's were being told at once and you have no idea until the end. Casey-rose is the adult and the artists actually killed her parents! Really good.
Nothing made sense - maybe spoilers?? Whole movie was spoiled.
terithelen7 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The whole movie was around finding the girl and watching weird dude arrange his tools. "Revealing" the reasoning for the whole plot at the very end with zero references the entire movie and showing flashbacks..... that didn't tie anything together. Poorly executed. Waste of time and money.
