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.
This is nothing new. Been done 100 times. Not bad...but just...nothing i haven't seen before. Cheesy yet watchable. But...
I wasnt expecting too much from this flick. I went ahead and watched it because I'm a huge Gabrielle Union fan.
I was impressed with how there were small details about the aesthetic of the film that captured my interest. The small mundane font that was used for the opening credits made it have an indie film feel, which immeadiatley caught my eye. As the film went on, I could see how the dialogue was slightly disjointed but got to the point in a timely way. Union's performance was pretty awesome, just because she has such a command of the screen. She really personified that emblem of a mother trying to protect her babies. The writing of the film wasn't the best. That did get mildly in the way of the overall effect the film could've had. In short it was an enjoyable thriller/action flick.

I have no idea who wrote this script but they need to take a few classes. Dialing 911 will not show up in your call log. For the reason shown in the film. Why did her husband show up at the exact wrong time and not call the police when he saw blood?
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!
