| 0:36 | That looks lovely and green. Mmm, forests. |
| 3:05 | I can’t see Nicole and Nicholas as a couple. |
| 4:00 | I want their house. |
| 5:06 | Safe pass code is 5578. |
| 7:13 | I feel as though she may have escaped that way before. |
| 9:30 | They have zero chemistry. Although maybe they are just meant to be acting that way. |
| 14:14 | It can’t be that odd to not have a cellphone on you. I don’t carry mine with me around the house. |
| 16:00 | A fake code that acts real but calls the police is genius! |
| 25:45 | The bandits, they are falling apart a little bit. |
| 26:04 | Are they aware that one of their party is just getting stoned and watching TV? |
| 27:27 | And trying on other people’s clothes! |
| 30:32 | He has a nice smile. |
| 33:48 | Seems as though the brother was more keen than she was. Why blame her? |
| 34:40 | She’s smarter than she looks. |
| 37:30 | The burglar has a sob story. |
| 40:57 | “We never owned this house, it owned us.” |
| 43:51 | The burglar made up his sob story. |
| 48:11 | This family seem awfully good at pick pocketing. |
| 51:35 | They even have an endless pool! No wonder all their money is tied up in there. |
| 53:50 | At some point, the burglars will have to admit there is no money to be had! |
| 54:59 | Wow, that alarm system gives the police a lot of detail! Which window is broken and everything. |
| 1:00:20 | She’s still not convinced, that police woman. |
| 1:02:11 | Is this another lying sob story? It sounds more believable. |
| 1:02:54 | “It’s really bad mojo to kill a taxman.” |
| 1:10:22 | Who calls themselves a cuckold? |
| 1:17:09 | The bandits are definitely falling apart. |
| 1:19:28 | “Man, you could have saved us all a lot of aggravation.” |
| 1:22:34 | Nail guns just seem like a bad idea all round. |
| 1:25:08 | Will they get into trouble for killing people? |
Conclusions
Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman are both pretty big stars, so we thought this would be worth checking out. Never hurts to watch a bit of an action movie, and clocking in at just about 90 minutes made it even more appealing to me!
I think it’s fascinating that this film made only about $25k in the box office and was yanked after 10 days. It broke records with the speed it went to DVD - 18 days. I mean, it wasn’t great, I will admit to that. A lot of shrieking, some pretty unbelievable villains, but an okay premise and a plot that wound its way towards the end through some medium-level twists and turns. It wasn’t my favourite film of the year, I agree, but I have seen an awful lot worse!
