A fairly technically competent snack with a likeable hero and a charismatic villain. But the author, Brandon Boyce, will certainly not compete in the Oscar for screenplay – the story really goes off the rails. (15.08.2018)

I enjoyed the story despite all its flaws. Its running time was a bit over the top, though. Way over the top. At first, I thought there wouldn’t be anyone to root for, because the pair of burglars were simply asking for having their kneecaps introduced to my fancy twenty-pound hammer, and the lead scumbag was doing all he could to have the very same tool crack open his skull. At least there was Katie so I could keep my fingers crossed for her. When weighing the pros and cons, I figured that what mattered the most was that I enjoyed the film, and I added a fourth star.

An eager little thriller from the director of Geostorm. The story revolves around two young thieves who break into houses, but everything changes when one of them sees something he shouldn't have and starts a duel with sleazy psychopath (an excellent David Tennant) who is up to no good. The suspense works nicely, the film has a good pace, the actors are likeable, there are some minor surprises, so as a thriller, the film meets the criteria. It's nothing special, but I had a decent time and I'm happy to give the film a thumbs up. 70% (10.08.2018)
