I think most of this is fair. The part about race and Detroit is rather interesting. I don't think Money's character was meant to be white, more like racially ambiguous. :troll: I do think that
they shouldn't have revealed that bit in the beginning about her being dragged down the street. It also revealed that the other two were already dead. It was unnecessary. And yeah the white girl getting out was too hamfisted. She should have died. That would have been glorious. Or the blind guy should have died. One of them. I also don't understand how he escaped the basement while cuffed? And managed to get a gun, but it is his house and he is paranoid, so I was willing to believe he had other means and awareness of the space.



Definitely a different experience with a packed theatre. And I thought the daughter piece made him more human and less of a one dimensional character. But you're not the first person to say it loses steam. It just never did for me.

It was just his voice. He's this strong, hulking dude who is merciless on intruders, but sounds like a feeble old man. It just sort of ruined the character.

Also, it would've been nice if they spent 5 mins before sort of showing how adept he was as a blind person in his own house.

Manipulative bytch :mjcry:
Money killed him with the of course "I care that's my bytch !!":leostare: How about you be a good friend and stay in the FRIEND ZONE :ufdup:Mikr was like :snoop::merchant::deadmanny:
The movie didn't do a good job either explaining why she couldn't get a job or something to try at least to leave town . Simp ass was the only likeable one and
he did everything for the pyssy didn't need to rob as his dad has a job and got himself killed simping. He should of took a page out of lights out and get fukking help!! Or kill the b*stard . ., plus fukk rocky for not at least anonymously calling the cops on him about kidnapping the girl and try and clear her friends name alittle as they both died for you !!

He said his voice is like that cause he doesn't speak . He's not a crazy guy sitting around talking to himself . They didn't explain a few things like how he escaped the gas so fast and the ending was impossible as the gun was in the kitchen how'd he get all that done so quick

so much unanswered. :beli:

The movie is listed at 1hr 29 mins. They could've spent 5 mins more on him.
They should of either showed more about him or go into more detail about the kids . It's like the collector I liked it cause the main guy was a thief but he was stealing to actually save his family and still tried to save the family. THis movie rocky isn't the least bit likeable and is manipulative but doesn't show why she can't get a job ( I know it's Detroit) or show her struggling instead she's just a product of a fukked up mom who is trying to get short cuts

they'l make a ton of money off this movie b/c the overhead/budget was clearly very low. Basically one set location, no big name talent, etc.

But it could've been so much better.

I dont see why it's getting such rave reviews when the back half of the movie is just not that good.

Cornfields, cows, & an one stoplight town
and how did he go out and get the girl who killed his daughter?

I don't think it's that complicated. He's an old blind vet, and this rich white girl ran over his little girl. It would be really easy to guilt trip the girl into coming over to give an apology. Maybe he offered her some drugged tea and let her cry about her sins until she passed out. After that he has her ass.

Meh they would be so suspicious of him though if that happened . You think she going to the hood in Detroit by herself ? No car ? No phone ?

It was alright.

The direction was pretty good. Fincher esque camera moves.

And it was pretty tense in some moments.

I just don't like violent movies as much as i get older :manny:

The fukkery with the dog though :mjlol:

I have It Follows over this as far as recent Detroit horror movies but that's just me
