Hey! It's me again!
I thought I'd write a quick summary about another film I've watched. It was quite spontaneous though, as I was watching the news and switched over to the Film4 channel to see it about to start. I decided to give it a watch and it was definitely something I would recommend!
As you can see by the film poster 'Payback is a mother'; and the mother certainly gets payback for what happens in the film, after she managed to get herself in a bit of a difficult situation. We find out that her Dad has passed away, and she moves into his very high tech and secure house of residence with her two young children. All seems fine until each of her children is unknowingly captured...whilst inside the house, whilst she is outside on the phone to her husband.
The moment she finds out that there are men inside her house, she becomes a little frightened, and we see one of the 4 men begin chasing her as she runs off for help. Long story short, she manages to get him on the floor and puts a gag in his mouth. We also find out that the 4 men want to get into the safe that is in the house as it contains a lot of money.
Throughout the film there is an extreme game of 'hide and seek' being played, as one of the children tries to work out a way to escape, by going through the vent to attempt to collect her phone...we also see the younger brother holding one of the guys at gun point but isn't able to kill him fully. Unknowingly, one of the mother's friends comes to the house and is face to face with one of the wannabe thieves, and after realising that something seems a bit strange, she wanders off...but it killed by one of the men just in case she goes to get help.
There are dramatic twists and turns throughout the film, including the husband coming home from work and ended up in the drama, one of the thieves kils the 'guy in the charge', the mother is held at knife point but somehow manages to kill the bad guy, and finally the family are back together...in a semi normal house. SO yeah, that's basically the overview...bad guys in the house, massive game of hide and seek, bad guys dead and family survive, but it is definitely a tortuous film, as you never know what's going to happen.
