Although the whole idea and premise of the movie was workable and a good idea, the script writers totally screwed the movie over. There is far too many examples of people ignoring common sense, unrealistic police procedures, and a lot or bad acting mostly from the plumber. And it is really bad when a character talks to themselves out of context to extend the plot. The plot twist was ok, but watching this movie made me angry while watching the characters completely ignore common sense.

Words fail me, but I am cold blooded, heartless machine of a woman. Shortest review ever- grab a bag of chips and prepare to giggle for all the wrong reasons. You have seen this movie before. I am glad to see Henry Thomas in some things recently. He has grown to an appropriate aged actor who isn't half bad in roles. I think Keven Bacon says you don't have to be a big movie star, but being a good, responsible actor who like a challenge and enjoys it- that's acting. The interaction between Thomas and goons is unintentionally hilarious. The goons are straight out of central casting:: tall, skinny guy with the brains and the dumpy one who is .. dumpy. But this is movie is a fun way waste a cold Saturday afternoon!

The film has a good concept, but an epically poorly presented story. Here are some examples, so the main "hero" of the story is under the house and has a cell phone, but he doesn't call for help wtf (he obviously has signal and batteries because he had a missed call from his wife). On the other hand, the villains who are upstairs in the house "like" cannot get to him under the house, the only thing that separates them from the hero of the story are the thin boards on the floor and that's all considering that after the shot in the floor a hole of light was immediately shown which it means that it is rather thin floor, but apparently it is hard to remember to remove wooden floor. Mostly the movie is overcrowded with such scenes and it simply kills the movie completely. I watched it to the end, but it's more of a parody than an action, not a comic parody, ugh, it's hard to explain.

A pretty unremarkable film, but one that I did see through to the end.

Elliot from E. T is working in a crawl space under a wooden house. Up above him the bad guys are looking for some ill gotten loot.

It seems to have some unintentional slapstick to it, because I laughed a few times although probably for the wrong reasons!

Someone has compared it slightly to Home Alone, but I'd say Harry and Marv were intellectually smarter than the two inept baddies in this!

If you're really stuck for something to watch then give it a go. I'm sure you'll have better ideas of what should be done in certain situations compared to what was actually done.

Home alone meets the A team meets macgiver, a plumber gets mixed up in a bungling pair trying to ransack a corrupted man's house to gain money.

It's not bad, but not good either. It's much more than some of the low ratings and it's an ok watch, the twist is not exactly ground breaking but this film doesn't pretend to be either. It was alright, touch teeth grinding with the injuries and certain characters didnt really need to be there but it's watchable.
