The 3-minute rule works in the basement, but not at the front door...


She has 3 minutes before the ankle bracelet alerts the cops. She uses this to her advantage, when going to the basement, but why does she totally forget this at the front door?

3 minutes is plenty of time to get the mail off the floor or answer the door. She doesn't have to make a spectacle of it for the grocery boy, etc, by stretching to reach the door.

Why is it that the grocery boy can't just lay the groceries down at the door and leave, then she can carry them to the kitchen and put them away? Oh, that's right, we can't have the ludicrous sexual tension between a 40 year old woman and a 20 year old grocery delivery boy. Sorry, but she doesn't strike me as the kind of woman that's gonna be turned on by that delivery boy. She's supposed to be a respectable, mature woman. I hate ridiculously forced and unrealistic choices in movies, that are obviously there only to help the writer reach a plot point.

And then there's Famke's "New Yawk" accent [shaking head/rolling eyes] I don't know, but it just doesn't suit her.

This movie was pathetic!
