2 hours of screaming and crying


That sums up this film. All of the screaming and crying seriously gave me a headache. You have been warned.

reply

Sounds like Kidman was in her element - overdoing everything as usual.

reply

It gave me a headache too :-(

reply

What would you guys have done in this situation? Probably scream and cry. I am surprised that they didn't tape the victims' mouths though.

reply

what would i have done in this situation?

if i was the daughter i would have called the cops when i had the chance (yes she did have a chance)

if i was the husband id give them the cash

if i was the wife id offer thye necklace

none of which involve screaming or crying!

reply

I hated the part where she heard the shouting downstairs, yet she called out "MOM!" stupid move.

reply

or the bit where shes running round the house with loads of time to use her phone but would rather hide in the corner crying!!

reply


No nO she is a very smart girl. Look at how she was able to run and hide so many times.

Run but scream in the other direction, probably the writer thought of this stuff.

Likes movies, taken away, but thoughtfull

So if you were the Husband you'd have let your whole family including yourself die. It was made obviously clear on more than one occasion that once the gang had the money the family were going to die. The husband knew this and even said so on more than one occasion ... perhaps you missed most of the film.

I'm not so sure that the daughter had a chance to phone the police until near the end, it wasn't made clear how she phoned the police, maybe she got a phone from one of the gang?

I suspect that what you'd have done in that situation is to have wet yourself followed by a whole load of crying like a little baby.

dont act like you know me

Why don't you and all the other people stop complaining and WHINING about the movie. Most movies that involve some kind of home invasion have screaming and crying because simply people are SCARED. You act like if it happened to you that you would just sit there and not make one sound at all but really you wouldn't know what you do until you were actually in that same situation so you can really whine about the screaming in the movie when in reality that is probably what the majority of people would do. If they didn't cry or scream or make any sound then people would say why don't they seem scared and why aren't they making any noise. Also people shouldn't pick out every little thing in a movie that they don't find right or say why didn't she do this or why didn't he do that. Movies aren't perfect and when people are scared they aren't perfect either and might not think about doing certain things and what not.

reply

a lot of movies show people being sick when theyre scared. has this actually ever happened to anyone!?

reply

Um yeah of course that does happen!!

reply

its never happened to me so it cant possibly be true!

reply

That's what you make it sound like, if it hasn't happened to you then it's not realistic.

reply

you can imagine my disgust while watching the matrix

reply

this movie holds the record for fasted theatre to DVD release! says it all...what a stinker, got pulled out of the theatres after only 10 days!

reply

A lot of movies do that, it wasn't even playing in that many theaters in the first place. It was in limited release. I found nothing wrong with the movie, people are just way too picky.

reply

I would have taken my Sig Sauer out of the gun safe and shot the intruders. I also would have taught my wife how to use it. This movie would have been over in no time, if Mr. and Mrs. Miller had made use of their right to bear arms and defend their property.

Likes movies, taken away, but thoughtfullFee yeah tapemthe mouths. Hmmm then there would-be even less silly dialogue ..hmm maybe N improvement. Ok I will quit ranting but really would a ridiculous movie. Action action scream cry grit your teeth..repeat.

Actually, for me, the title means the bandits, not the family, lol . What sort of home invaders go into scene stealing screaming and crying ? It's as if the bandits were made up of students of an actor's workshop .

reply

First off the movie wasn't 2 hours.

reply

lol @ MR Precise

reply

Runtime: 91 min.

reply

That's one of the high points of the movie, it didn't last long hehe !

Last Movies: - 50\50 : 3,5/5
- Moneyball: 4/5
- Drive: 4,5/5

reply

I kinda agree, I didn't even finish last ten mins cause wgaf anyway

Kidman was very hot in it tho, very slim now, that aussie poodle-rocker is a very lucky man

reply

lol, she looked old and haggard, and someone really bottox'd her lip up ... maybe you like banging grannies with ducky lips. No accounting for taste.

reply

An hour and ten minutes in right now and I'm losing the will to live!

Also, the music score never seems to let up, which makes it even more over-bearing.

"You average, typical, blocking the view of a God-damn, average, victim Bastard!"

reply

I started fast forwarding through the movie because the acting was so overly done or in the case of one of the robbers, very badly done. I thought the casting sucked in this movie. WHERE THE HELL did they spent 35 million on this movie? It seems like they paid huge for Kidman and Cage and then decided to go to the dollar store for the rest of the cast. I've worked with local actors who are better than some of those thieves. And the dialogue, god it was syrupy and at times very poorly delivered. It was like a soap opera with guns. But soap operas have better actors.

reply

lol, That's exactly what I did.(fast forwarding)
Everybody talks too much, bad guys just shout at each other, that female
accomplice is a loose cannon and Mr. Schumacher seems he doesn't believe in
flashbacks so every background story and such must be done verbally and so on.
no matter how many people here defend it, the movie being such a flop says all
and you cannot negate common sense.enough said.

reply

100% agree. Don't watch this movie.

reply

It isn't 2 hours. it is only 1h 30 min, at least here in Sweden.

reply

it wasn't all screaming and crying.

there was a lot of gun pointing.

and about 10,000 idle threats.

reply

Same here. With all that screaming and crying, it should've lasted 20 minutes, because, to be sure, someone would've gone *beep* and killed everyone just to shut them the hell up.
