Are you all on drugs? This wasn't a good movie. Also badly written film.
I can't believe this has raving reviews from some people. It's not a good movie. And the writing is so bad that it's comedic. None of the characters act like real people except for the lawyer who is only in it for a few minutes. Some of the characters' motivations and personalities also go from 0-60 or do 180 degree turns with no rhyme or reason either.
When the trio breaks in the house and captures Anna, instead of just giving them the money so they can leave, she doesn't say anything. And this is a character that just moments ago in the film made it clear she couldn't care less about the money. Not only that, the trio make almost no effort to make Anna tell them where the money is. Again, this is attributed to bad writing because the writer had no idea how to keep the plot going had these characters, you know, acted like human beings.
And speaking of characters changing motives, etc, the younger brother couldn't get out of the house fast enough when it's clear that Anna has now been caught in the middle and is their prisoner. But when his older brother gives him the chance to leave, he then wants to stay because he wants to get the money. Da f@ck? Again, nothing has changed from the moment he wanted to leave to when he's in the kitchen trying to make coffee. Again bad writing.
The characters like I said change personalities and motives on a whim. One of the robbers wants to help a character one minute, and then make them suffer the next.
The movie also gets really tedious the more it went on. I was hoping that the twist was going to be something spectacular like Anna is a vampire or they have some kind of giant man-eating chinchilla in the basement. But then it is revealed that the twist is nothing more than that Anna and her brother like to torture and kill pedophiles in the basement. Hooray?
And when Anna finally lets the bad guy go, she just casually walks up stairs with no worry that, you know, the brother of the guy she just killed might be waiting for her. Seriously.
I got bored watching this movie. I stuck it out because I thought there was some kind of great twist. There wasn't. The acting was horrible. The dialogue was bad. The film was written so badly that I thought Tommy Wiseau was going to pop out in the middle of it. When Culkin came to the house dressed like Tommy Wiseau I almost leaped out of my chair thinking that the film finally made sense. But unfortunately there was no connection to him. This was just a bad movie.
I think I have more but I'm still puzzled as to how people can even recommend this film.
