Terri (Taraji P. Henson), a devoted wife and mother of two, lives an ideal life that takes a dramatic turn when her home and children are threatened by Colin (Idris Elba), a charming stranger who smooth-talks his way into her house, claiming car trouble. The unexpected invitation leaves her and her family terrorized and fighting for survival.
This was a textbook "see the trailer - you have seen the whole thing" kind of movie. There was a big advertised twist at the end that is nowhere that big of a deal as advertised. You still know what is going to happen long before it all plays out. However, it is still watchable for two reasons. One - Idris Elba and Taraji P Henson are both great actors. Even though their roles are formula/textbook they are both captivating enough that you enjoy it. Two - the movie is super short and they don't waste any time on overdevelopment of unnecessary stuff. If this would have been a 2 hour movie instead of an under 90 minute movie, I probably would have just pulled the plug on it.
I would not really recommend people checking this movie out. I know that it came out at a time when there really nothing else. If you are in desperate need to see something - its short enough to check out and not be annoyed. I think you are better off waiting a week or two for better options though.
