Home Invasion (2016)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

HOME INVASION is a straight-to-video B-movie thriller that openly copies PANIC ROOM but comes across as far inferior to the David Fincher film. This one sees an ageing Natasha Henstridge playing a mother who is forced to take refuge her own home alongside her child when it is invaded by a bunch of criminals looking for loot. Her only ally is a security operator on the outside, played by a tired Jason Patric in one of those sitting-at-a-desk type roles. Truth be told, this is a typically cheap and overwrought production, with Henstridge failing to impress and the story piling on one cliche after another. I laughed out loud during some of the attempts at more serious moments. The one highlight is the presence of martial arts expert Scott Adkins in the cast, but sadly he's not enough to save the film - and he doesn't even get to fight.

Actually i have never seen a movie like this, worst EVER!. waste of time i think if i had a beer in graveyard it would be much useful, i mean how can his friend have an safe jacket and the boss doesn't? is it about home security commercial, i hope the actors and the director and the writer dies for wasting my time plus a lot of mistakes come on we are in 2016 and we still have common mistakes? if she rode the car out of the garage she could've break through! and that kid ran out for no reason without any warning how possibly a kid freaked out do this, maybe had some experiences before... what is it in that safe? who is that women who is that guy who stood for an army cause the boss said ï will make it worth your while? oh my god i feel the writer is mocking the audience ..or the watchers..

A really nice film that proved an unexpected joy to watch. I say "unexpected" because of some of the appalling reviews seen here on IMDb, which - in my view - this film does not deserve. It has a nice pace and storyline that will keep most people entertained and thrilled right to the end. Granted, it may not win an Oscar but it is well made and well acted. Definitely worth a watch despite the negative reviews, some of which I'm sure were written by people who either haven't seen the film or simply haven't a clue about what's good and what isn't. Yes, they're entitled to their opinions but those who are giving this one star clearly do not know what they're on about. The story is good, the title gives a clue as to what it's about; I won't add any spoilers.

I really don't understand why movie makers can't come up with a common subject and twist it to make it different. Also, why not make it 100% realistic or close to it. This motion picture wasn't too bad till it was. Without listing many examples, around halfway through the two captives are hiding in the garage after catching and tying up one of the intruders, the other intruders are in the house. The mother says to the security agent - who the whole time is monitoring the house and on the phone - they can't exit the garage because they will be heard - DAHHHH - so what, they will be out of the house and free. Also, even after they didn't't run, they go back in the house, confront a gunman who lets them be, out of kindness, but still don't escape when the front door is right there - their second chance for freedom. Then they proceed to run upstairs into yet another gunman - LEAVE THE DAMN HOUSE. At that point I LEFT THE DAMN MOVIE because it was/is stupid garbage and an insult. Maybe there is a spectacular ending that explains this crap but other films, that are almost exactly like this, haven't so why would this end differantly? I can fix these things but who would listen to an avid movie viewer and a chef.
