summer popcorn fun-fest!
Just like last years Panic Room, this one features Jodie as the protective Mom battling against unbelievable odds with only her cojones (she may have a set...) and brains on her side.
This film is elevated, as all this genre must be, by the quality of the cast, cleverness of the script, and editing.
This one has all three... in spades.
Jodie's performance, actually, is much better than necessary but actually gets one very involved (especially if you're a parent). It's time she got back into serious film-making.
Peter Sarsgaard is superb and his voice is an exact (and almost distubing) replica of John Malkovich's in some situations.
The pilot, a Brit actor, is extremely convincing and skips so many of the cliches which one has come to expect of the "man in charge."
So, I'd give this a much-better-than-average thriller rating but also note that Jodie's fine performance places it into a unique category: an Oscar level performance in a "B" movie.
