Breaking In

Even though this movie was predictable, because there are a million movies with the story line of a desperate mother willing to go great lengths for her children, I really liked it. It had a lot of action throughout the entire movie. So it kept my attention!

It had ever cliche in the book. I Also feel the acting was very mediocre at times from the criminals and they didn't come off as very scary as you'd expect from them. On the plus side it had a good ending and was an easy watch.

I was really hoping for a good movie, but it was the typical home invasion type of movie, and as always, the intruders were not the brightest.

I wouldn't say it's a terrible movie, as there are some good moments to it, but sadly also a lot of bad.

One thing i noticed the most about it, is, Ajiona Alexus (Jasmine), almost the only line she had through out the movie (Which was a lot, i totally lost count) was how many times she kept saying "Mom", i've never seen anything so simple before, and boring at the same time...

Sadly i think it could have been a good movie, it was just a very predictable experience, and i've seen so many of these home invasion movies, and this one was just like 99% of the others!

I couldn't give myself to give it a 5 / 10 stars, but i was mildly entertained at points.

Would i recommend it? Well that sure depends on your taste, doesn't it? If you like most other home invasion movies, with a house that has a crazy security system, total surveillance, hidden safe, then yeah, go for it, then i'm sure you will like this one too... But, if you've already seen a ton of such movies, then this one will probably not be anythiing that will give you any surprises.

Decent one time watch, at parts can be boring nothing to shout about

I've definitely seen worse movies, there are better home invasion films too, but come on this is mediocre even though there are plot holes for sure, like we don't know much about Gabrielle Union/Shaun Russell's father or about her training, and the 4 guys could've planned a little better. Either way it's quite entertaining for what it is. It's also unfortunate it's because it's by such a great director James Mcteigue. I'm glad I was able to watch it free on HBO GO. If you wanna see a better invasion flick check out You're Next or Don't Breathe those are written better with great chills. For now though at least give this a chance it's decent.
