1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   A serial killer is on the loose in this dark comedy. Riley Lawson becomes his latest victim, while her parents Will and Kate, and her younger brother Reed are left to have their home turned into the next base camp for the FBI and the most inept and insufferable agent in charge. Riley plays along to what her captor, Otis wants of her in the world that he has created to live out his fantasy. Riley gets the upperhand and escapes to call her parents, who in turn having had to deal with this inept agent decide to take up the vindication of Riley into their own hands.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   You are cheering on Riley and her family for what each side has to go through in this whole ordeal.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

   Bostin Christopher who plays Otis was a perfect pick for the serial killer, abductor.

6. Female Stars Really Great 4.5

   Ashley Johnson plays Riley Lawson, a sweet girl who finds out that she has more strength than she probably thought she would ever have to endure in this movie. Her acting is spot on.

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

   Illeana Douglas plays Kate Lawson the mom and for me she can do no wrong in my eyes as one of my favorite unsung actresses.

8. Male Costars Very Good 3.5

   Daniel Stern as Will Lawson (I will always remember him as the Wet Bandit who screams like a girl with a tarantula on his face) is somewhat of the moral compass in this movie.
   Jared Kusnitz plays Reed Lawson the brother is an excellent addition. Kevin Pollack plays Otis’ brother Elmo and later an integral part in the movie.
   LAST AND CERTAINLY NOT LEAST Jere Burns plays the most annoying FBI agent; Agent Hotchkiss, who leaves you wondering why he was ever allowed into the FBI or how he could pass any of the tests that they give their field agents.

10. Film

    Barely OK 2.0

11. Direction Barely OK 2.0

12. Play Barely OK 2.0

    The only ones that I really enjoyed were Reed Lawson, the brother throughout the film; and the mother Kate Lawson once she found her strength and figured out it was up to her and her family to take on Otis.

13. Music Good 3.0

    I Love BOC- (Don’t Fear) The Reaper.

14. Visuals Barely OK 2.0
15. Content

16. Edge

    Risqué 1.8

17. Sex Titillating 1.6

    Pretty funny actually. Just have to see it to laugh.

18. Violence Gentle 1.4

    Otis is a giant 7ft looking dumbass who has no problem giving a good smack or taking care of the evidence of the 5 other Kims before Riley Lawson is taken.

19. Rudeness Salty 2.3

    Otis has no problems when he is behind his phone and microphone to talk like the stud he thinks he is.

21. Reality

22. Circumstantial Glib 1.7

23. Biological Natural 1.0
