This movie was actually painful to watch. The couple in it were extremely stupid whiny and annoying. Dolf was actually by far the best actor in this movie and that is not saying much. Dear director and screenwriter if you want to make a movie like this watchable, please make the couple at least likable.

To the casting director, I know you are on a budget but you can find lots of starving actors who are 1000 times better than these 2. To the actors well I suggest you find another line of work.

I only gave it 1 star because I couldn't give it zero. IMDb please add that option

I love watching good and bad movies, the bad ones are always worth a laugh. This movie however, was something completely different. Dolph Lundgren is an actor that I enjoy watching, he's not really all that good, but he's not terrible. The movie itself though, is terrible. I found myself yelling at the screen by the end of it.

There were many situations that just seemed way too unreasonable. The ending was a cluster of "where is everybody now?", "no one would do that" and "are you kidding me?". The film seems to have been shot all through CCTV and hand-held camcorders. Reminded me of watching the Blair Witch Project, but without the laughs.

Even if you are a fan of the actors, I could not recommend this movie as it makes them seem worse than they are. It had potential to be something better, but failed many times. If your looking for a movie with this kind of "setup", then try Panic Room or Hostage.

I like Briana Evian, however, this couple is so damn dumb that the entire movie I was rooting for the criminals to win. I wanted Dolph to shoot the husband in the head multiple times with multiple weapons.

Why was the "drug czar" portrayed as a feeble old grandpa? The entire movie lacks common sense and you would have to be a real idiot to believe any of this nonsense for a second. Absolute garbage.

"I bet somebody $20 that you wouldn't find that stash tonight. I guess I lost." Dave (Faris) & Emma (Evigan) have found the perfect house in a great neighborhood with great neighbors. While on their first night there they discover a hidden closet filled with heroin. Thinking the best option is to leave and call the cops they walk outside and their neighbor tells them that that is a bad idea. Running back into the house they have no option but to toss out the stash to the people waiting for them, but that is not all they were looking for. So going into this I had low expectations because of the fact that this is a Lundgren movie. In my opinion he peaked in Rocky. This is another mindless action movie that is good enough to keep you watching but still a movie you forget as you are watching. If you are a fan of Lundgren you will like this movie. If you aren't I have to say I have seen worse from him. Overall, everything that a typical Lundgren usually has. Lame plot, acting and a movie that you forget as you watch. I give it a C-.

However, it is not a real Lundgren movie - as Lundgren himself has a rather supporting and unpleasantly different role. The plot (including the ending scenes) has some unpredictable twists and turns, but many events and character development are illogical and awkward, being a token of cheap budget and focusing only on perfunctoriness. The directing and performances are mediocre as well.

With its duration of around 1,5 hours, it is still watchable, but that's it. Panic Room, for instance, is much better and thus more recommended. Moreover, I prefer the movies where Lundren's character is at the side of oppressed and seeking justice, showing his great martial arts skills.
