Cast: Bruce Willis, Kevin Pollak, Jimmy Bennett, Michelle Horn, Ben Foster, Jonathan Tucker

Jeff Talley, a former LAPD hostage negotiator, has moved himself away from his failed career outside of Los Angeles, and away from his wife and daughter. When a convenience store robbery goes wrong in his turf, the three perpetrators move in on an unsuspecting family. But the family’s father has a secret which might compromise his kin, and one of the criminals is about to jump over the edge. Jeff Talley has to get everybody to survive the night……if he can.

Good to see Bruce is back in good form. Not the most exciting action reel, but still decent. Usually the criminals are smart in the beginning, and wind up idiots. Not in this one though. Nice touch with having two agendas in one. Sort of a surprising ending, though we all knew what would happen, it was performed in a nice way. Most of all, there are few lulls in the story, you’re interested the whole time, and no fucking stupid one-liners - at all. I can’t stand those. All in all a decent to good actioner< and not much to complain about.

My Rating: 7/10
