Killers Within

Very middle of the road, nothing really wrong to moan about, production, acting, creatures are all done well, the story is old but with a twist that I for one thought was quite original, but nothing catches your eye. I just thought there's something missing, like a cheese sandwich without the pickle. By all means give it a look just be warned it's much more VanDamme than Bruce Lee.

What started out pretty decent, ended badly. For the first hour, this was pretty good; it had a lot of potential. But alas, the last half quickly became a low buget SyFy flick, complete with goofy costumes, poor dialog, and cheesy special effects. It's as if the director quit, and the replacement said 'to heck with this; lets just throw something together and go home'. Don't waste your time with this one folks.

Awlful acting by the majority of the cast . The story line showed promise unfortunately became all very predictable with no Twists and nothing new. Don't waste your time.

It has a very very intriguing storyline, had the potential to be slightly fresh. But... 1. Great story, very poor writing...really poor writing/dialogue. 2. Protagonist is a sadder than sad actress. Even with son kidnapped her face never left the Kristen Stewart expressionless look. She said her lines like she was practicing in front of bathroom mirror...drunk. 3. Directing...well, they lost a character that was onscreen and disappears, like the director forgot the very important character was no longer in movie. That alone tells you about the direction.

Summary...Story was intriguing enough to see what happens in the end but execution was horrible.

So, one aspect, the hostage film, was heading to be okay. Characters were basic but some elements of caring. Then there were the continual stupid choices of the kidnappers, that lowered the focus of the film. Next, the film makers did a horrid job of hiding the twist element to the point that it would have worked better if it was more upfront blatant. Instead, there is this otherworldly element that is squeezed into the film, unsuccessfully for either aspect. And yes, as another review says, "Where's the little boy?"
