Break-In

This one has it all. The three women capture the eye of every male viewer. The villains are believable, more so than usual. The action is constant, with everything unpredictable. Watching this movie, you can hate, have sympathy, experience fear, and admire the cast for pulling you in so completely.

All of us who have visited Caribbean islands have wondered, "Gee, what could go wrong here?" This film takes your imagination to the extremes. After viewing this, you may choose to spend your next vacation in Des Moines or Salt Lake City.

Kelly Carlson captures and keeps attention, not only for her seductive ways but also for her ability to change emotions rapidly when that's needed.

Lifetime has scored big-time with Break-in.

One of the best LMN movies I've seen in a long time. All about a honeymoon couple vacationing on a remote island with unexpected happenings along the way. First they are interrupted by the groom's sister and husband, best man and maid of honor at their wedding, then by 3 sinister invaders after more than money.

The reactions and moments were well played between the seven principals it is hard to pick out one over the other. They all were that good. Kelly Carlson and Eric Winter were the honeymooners; Tessie Santiago and I think Marc Kudisch were the other couple. Todd Babcock was excellent as the villain invader with Xavier Torres and Mercedes Renard as his accomplices. It had you guessing and then a surprise ending in the final scene that I won't reveal. However I really didn't get the ending at all. Can somebody enlighten me as to what exactly happened? What was real and what wasn't?

But see this and enjoy the suspense.

This is your average Thriller - 4/10 with me needing to take a point off for the horrendous ending that will have you scratching your head as to what actually happened. There is clearly a decided ending to this movie so it's NOT supposed to be ambiguous. The writer took the time to create an outcome to a Cliffhanger like moment at the very end. The only problem is that the storyboard would have taken maybe 5 minutes of film and apparently, was only given about 30 seconds so rather than tell the end of the story and the outcome so that people can follow, you get quick random flashes of what I am guessing the outcome is chopped up only these flashes are intertwined with the present cliffhanger scenes so you can't seem to figure out if the person is dreaming or if the person died and this was what he/she was thinking about or if the scenes are from the future and really did happen, etc.. It's just a mess and it leaves you feeling unsatisfied and a little annoyed that the movie waited so long for the big TWIST and then subsequent Action after the twist to occur since clearly they ran out of time or something - just inexcusable.

Now, the actual movie... It's about a couple, Marla and Parker (Carlson and Babcock) enjoying their honeymoon on a remote island who, to Marla's surprise are joined by Parker's sister Ria and her husband Cameron who Parker has invited. Things get crazy when a group of villains (Val, Angel and Joani) break in and the core 4's lives are in danger. A category 3 storm is coming forcing the villains to take shelter and hold the group hostage. The rest of the movie takes place inside the home with the dynamic between the villains and the victims with elements thrown in to keep the suspense high like an attempted poisoning and the lights going out allowing the victims to attempt to get away and hide.

Of course there is a TWIST at the end followed by the horribly executed ending. The movie wasn't bad, although the ending sure was, BUT even with a good ending I'd just give it a 5/10 - maybe 6 b/c it wasn't anything great.
