Product Description
A couple love their new house, bought for a steal out of a foreclosure. During their first visit they find illegal drugs stashed in the walls, and they realise this is not their dream house. As they are about to leave, suddenly their exit is blocked by a gun-wielding neighbour Spector and his accomplice. They come to realise the house is hiding more than drugs - it's the operation centre for mass drug tsar who is buried beneath the floorboards. On the run from the professional killers who want the drugs and evidence, the resourceful couple will need to turn the tables on their attackers to survive.

Any one who has seen the Bruce Willis movie Hostage or the Jodie Foster movie Panic room will be on very familiar ground in a cat and mouse thriller in which two people viewing a house for sale end up coming across a 'stash' that some very bad people want access to.
Lucky for them the house is very well guarded by very high tech security, and thus a game of cat of mouse plays out as the villains (Lead by Dolph Lundgren) work out a way in and the couple try to work a way out.
Not bad, not original, not a classic but entertaining none the less, worth a watch, just be aware this is a 'B' movie in a sense with little action, but a reasonable story to tell, quite well directed, and has a producing credit of Joel Silver (Die-hard/Lethal Weapon/The Matrix amongst many of his movies), and so is not as bad as many low budget films, with slick style of direction, some jumpy moments and as a thriller ticks the right boxes.
Not great film making - but not bad either, worth a watch if nothing else to do.

Tension. A film with this premise needs tension. The performances, the pacing, and the predicaments the 'heroes' get put in, have to work in unison to create a sense of suspense and empathic anxiety in the viewer.
Sadly, this film is directed by Eduardo Rodriguez, who is easily worthy of mentioning in the same breath as Uwe Boll.
The innocent victims trapped in the house are insufferable. I was rooting for the hitmen laying siege to the house within the first 15 minutes.
The film plods along relying entirely on these awful central performances, with little screen time for Lundgren, who is given nothing interesting to do, or say, and clearly knows it too- a talented character actor collecting a paycheque, but he really couldnt do anything else with what he was given to work with.
Anytime a time sensetive scenario occurs, in which the couple need to act with haste and silence, the director decides that they should spend 2 minutes saying how much they love eachother, and kissing/cuddling - not a peck on the cheek for luck understand, a full open mouth prolonged make-out session. Seriously? 2 armed guys in your house, both of you injured, and one chance to get the upper hand, and THAT is when you decide to have a bit of slap and tickle!!?? Ridiculous.
Normally, no matter how mismanaged the material, or poor the production values, I can find at least a few positives in a low budget genre movie - I am aware of the limitations inherent in their DNA, but here, there is nothing but boredom and frustration.
Dolph has made a number of solid direct-to-dvd movies in the last few years, pick ANY of them over this mess, I emplore you.
Avoid.Avoid.Avoid.
