Starring: Nicholas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Cam Gigandet, Liana Liberato
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Let me start by saying that I am huge fans of both Nicholas
and Nicole =D I love almost all of their movies. Nicholas is just too awesome.
Nicole is flawless.
This movie is about home invasion: an attack to a rich family’s residency
ala Hostage (remember Bruce Willis) and When a Stranger Calls (who is that hot chick
again, Camile something?). So yes, the whole movie takes place in this one
super rich mega cool house with Nicole playing the mother and Nicholas the
father of a young teenage girl.
Without revealing any spoilers, I just want to comment that
the movie is a cool in a way that it is unpredictable and there are so many
hidden elements behind a simple hostage situation. The plot is deep, yes, it is
not as simple as the situation brings upon. The characters, well, in addition
to the family of 3, there is only the group of 4 hostages: 2 brothers, 1 guy,
and one girlfriend. It is a small number but I think this is good because the
director manage to exploit each characters. So there is no simple cameo role
for any hostage like in many other films where the hostage was only to come,
shout this and that, and got killed. Instead in this movie, every character is
unique.
Furthermore, what makes this movie NOT boring despite its
monotone location setting and few casts, is that there is so many twist and
turn. Very interesting. The dialogues are tense. The actions are intense. There
is suspense all over. Nicholas, again, acting is just world-class and once
again proves why he is one of the best A-class actors. Nicole is, again,
flawless, be with or without botox, she is just too elegant. You can’t really
take your eyes off Nicole.

- Big house is redundant. You do not need one. Too big makes you scary. It also draws attention from other people. It may lead to unwanted crime. Outside people may be jealous. Criminals may target your house. And come on, I am sure it is too damn difficult to maintain such a big house right.
- Find a good wife. She may be very pretty and sexy and everything. But if she likes to have an affair, or she cannot control her lust to other guy (especially when you have to go to work or away for business for an extended period of time), then you will be in trouble. Furthermore, down the road, you two will learn more about each other and people inevitable make mistake. If she makes mistake, make sure you can totally forgive her. And this is tricky. Sometimes even if you are able to forgive her, sometimes, the knowledge itself (the fact that you know she has done that) could destroy your relation. But oh well, love is complicated eh. Love is blind. Love trumps everything. Right?
