My Thoughts:

    This film concept had me at hello, the trailer also had me at hello too, so when I went to watch this film, I was expecting to enjoy it. I am sad to say that they should rename this film "My Pvc Pipe and Me take a Walk." Over 30 mins of this film, is watching the husband, child and wife walk in real time to a meeting place and unfortunately that slows the film down a lot from the tense action in the beginning of the movie. I am not saying this film it totally bad, there is moments in this film that is soul shattering but you have to get over the long ass middle of this film and to tell you the truth, I almost gave up on this film cause, I was bored to death.
   One moment that save this film from being a waste of time is in the beginning, when you watch the family being attacked. The long take and real time camera action makes you feel like you are in the room with them and that you too are being attack by masked people.
 Overall, this film isn't bad but it makes the viewer wait a bit for any type of pay off.
