Decent Example Of A Thriller From The Turn Of The Century

Alyssa Milano goes with boyfriend Justin Theroux to his family's Thanksgiving dinner. They are are very wealthy, ready to jump on Theroux for not doing something useful with his life, and mourning the death of his elder brother. But although they seem safe enough behind the walls of their estate, there's a home invasion by Ice T and his crew, who seem to be happy enough to kill any and everyone. Then there's a twist.It's certainly one of those movies about which the clearest thing you can say is that if you like this sort of movie, you'll like this one. The twists are pretty good, Miss Milano is very pretty, Ice T is unnerving, and the body count is high for the number of performers. Other than that, it falls neatly into the tropes of the era, with the light levels kept low, the music dramatic, and the performances a bit broad.

Pointless, but not a bad way to kill a couple of hours

This film wasn't horrible, but it was far from great. As long as you don't expect too much from the story, it is fairly passable, in fact. I knew who the ultimate bad guy was about 30 minutes into the film, but sat around for the remainder of the action just to see it confirmed. I actually like Ice-T as an actor, but he could have phoned this performance in. There was no real background given for the characters or the story--heck, I've seen role-playing game modules with more--but if you're looking for a semi-suspenseful way to waste a couple of mindless hours (and you enjoy this kind of film), you probably won't be too disappointed.One thing that did disappoint me was the lack of light used in shooting any of the scenes. What we could see of the set suggested that it was quite opulent and I would have liked to see more of it. With all of the flaws in this film it seems like a minor complaint, but I guess that is should be expected based on the film's plot

Suspense? Twists? Where???

If you haven't seen something resembling the twist in this movie in other movies, you haven't seen enough movies!! The conflict in the family was very exaggerated & doesn't really add to the believability of the story. The best part of the movie was Alyssa Milano & Ice T who both put in respectable performances. The question is, when will Alyssa Milano be given a chance at a good movie role, she's got the talent, but so far the movies she's been in have been sub par.
