Overview
Kyle and Sarah Miller have it all: a huge gated house on the water, fancy cars, and the potential for romance in their relationship. He’s just back from a business trip and their teen daughter Avery is sneaking out to a party, when four thugs in security uniforms and ski masks stage a home invasion. They want what’s in the safe: cash and diamonds. As Kyle stalls them, trying to negotiate for Sarah’s freedom, the fault lines in Kyle and Sarah’s marriage and the pasts of the four robbers come into play. Is there room here for heroism?

Viewing Notes
After seeing Schumacher direct the everloving shit out of a silly concept in BLOOD CREEK, how could one not have high hopes for his home invasion thriller starring Nic Cage and Nicole Kidman. Problem is, it’s completely average in every way. It’s competently directed (and the colorful cinematography is nice) but obviously plotted. Also, it’s time someone gave Cam Gigandet (pronounced Jig-ahn-dey apparently) a real part or something so he doesn’t just show up as the piece of meat for the camera to festishize.
This movie could have been saved by more Cageiness, but he only loses his shit once (which is, indeed, an awesome moment). Too bad.
