Mystery, intense and intriguing film
Purchased this movie for both my brother and sister. Each of us love the actors. It’s a very good, tense, mystery and action packed movie…this movie is absolutely one of our very favorite’s.

Great movie intense and well acted
Nice action with a twist. I really was looking forward to seeing this when it came out and I am glad I did. Idris was so convincing as a murderer on the loose and was evenly matched here with a strong opponent in Taraji as a wife and mother that happened to answer the door on the wrong night. I loved the cat and mouse, back and forth suspense and the fact that Taraji was not a helpless victim made the movie all the better.If you like good action, great acting and like a little twist that answers questions in the end than this is your movie.

A real scenario that could happen to all...
2 stories unfold briefly before being intertwined for the remainder of the film. 1 is of a convict man, Colin, who's sentenced to 15 years but escapes and is rampant on revenge against his ex girlfriend. 1 is of a mother, Terry, who has a sweet beautiful daughter and a rocky relationship with her husband as of late which doesn't help that he has to go away to visit family for a few days. While her husband is away, Terry takes care of her daughter on a dark and stormy night when Colin stumbles upon her home as his car breaks down. Initially just wanting a phone call for a ride... he soon changes plans when Terry shows too much hospitality. A rather simple concept that works really well as it could happen to anyone which made me love the film. The film doesn't have 1 location though as surprisingly it takes a turn towards the end as they travel to Colins house as Terry finds out a rather well set up plot twist. People mostly disliked the film for either the trailer/predicting the ending but I think these films serve a rather good lesson on the dangers of showing too much hospitality towards anyone. Aside from its plot twist, cinematography, and music, nothing else really stands out from the film. The actors and story were good but could've been better if it were a longer film. I'd personally give it a 7/10.Moving on to video quality, being released in 2014 this 7 year old film looks amazing on blu-ray. The film is mastered in 4k but remains a 1080p source meaning that it has no HDR/dolby vision support unlike actual 4k discs. I believe my tv was able to support an HDR source of the movie but if you have a lower end 4k tv/blu ray player then it may not work the same. Dark levels are really good as it never appeared gray unlike some other dvds/blu-rays. Reds, whites, and blues are particularly the best as the cop lights vividly reflected off of surfaces and the white lights in the beginning were strong and bright.Sound quality is a lossless DTS 5.1 mix that sounds really good. From the sound of rain and thunder being heard off in the distance, to the telephone sounding off from the sides, the sound quality is very clean and understandable from beginning to end.

Movie Reviews
It's a mystery but it feels good. I like Taraji and this was a good short story. It was raining outside and I just wanted to get lost in a familiar story. This was a good time. If you like to look at a handsome face and a mama who will fight for the safety of her kids, rent this movie.
