Furia

I hated this film. It just goes from A to B without any surprise or detour, on a road much better walked by other filmmakers. The film's premise is absurd, gratuitous, the "bad boys" are a travesty, and what the merde was that gross, needless, ridiculous scene in the end? Was that a way of showing us he was tough now? What is this, a porn Leslie Nielsen film? No, this movie doesn't know what is wants and leaves you disappointed, cheated, and swearing you'll never watch a film starring that boring and bored main actor again.

This is quite the story and it is even crazier if you think that in one way or the other, this actually happened. I did not check what was truthful from real life, but just the premise itself is quite ludicrous ... Well not for the owners of the house of course, but in general.

And just the fact that laws let this happen ... this is madness, but then again, we know laws sometimes do not help the innocent, escpecially if some take advantage of them. So there are cliches here and the characters do take steps most will expect, but this is still a thrilling ride and "adventure" and you really feel for them ... all their issues included!

"Get In" has an interesting concept that appealed to me, which is based on a true story about a man dealing with squatters. It's much deeper than that, the movie touches on the concept of John Locke's theory of property, survival of fittest with sex and racial tensions being an underlying element to the entire plot.Other than that, Get in is best viewed going in knowing as little as possible.

The acting is pretty good and there is plenty of gore, at times violent especially in the second half of the film. The climax is very haunting and memorable, adrenaline-fueled ride which I can't imagine horror and thriller fans not enjoying.

The story does seem to overly rely on artsy horror movie tropes than I would have liked, also the set-up is not all that clever or original, in terms of scary, I can't say it was the most system shocking of the mix but it's all done so well that horror movie aficionados won't care. If you dig French Horror, Home invasions, and enjoyed films like Straw Dogs, Funny Games, then this is for you.

Of course this little French feature was in production in the same time of Korean's PARASITES, so I don't even think it was inspired from the Asian film. But the two movies have something in common, concerning some kind of home invading, though not in the usual straight way. It seems inspired from actual events,for the first part. And I think this kind of unbelievable scheme may happen from time to time. Incredible is the word. The movies changes of pace after the second third, to become an action horror thriller, but unfortunately with a totally f...up ending. In the pure Hollywood tradition, which is not a compliment.

Started off with a promising plot but ruined with a ridiculous ending with a bad guy who it appears could probably survive a direct nuclear hit. The acting was good enough. Gave it a five for the first half.
