A "What would I do if I was in that scenario?" and a "I wish they kept the money from the bad guys at the end" movie. A good amount of stress in this movie, very entertaining.

If you want disposable entertainment for 90 minutes you could do worse.

Don't understand the overwhelming negative reviews, this is a very good crime thriller, so glad I gave it a chance.

I was surprised given the rating on this one. It is actually a very good suburban, family crime thriller with not a boring moment.

So this thing starts off right on all accounts but quickly turns unbelievably ridiculous. It's as if a wannabe adult version of Home Alone was imagined from the brain of someone smoking meth. The best scene of the whole movie, after Kate's Butt, is the kill shot from a nail gun into a mans forehead from the crack of a floor from a story below...seriously. Don't waste your time, unless you're a diehard Hudson-hound or a seriously creepy Francophile.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

This increasingly ramshackle thriller somehow manages to bodge many of its key plot points, leaving the narrative as badly maintained as the rundown houses it occupies.

Rated: 2/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

The filmmakers use slick editing and pounding music in a desperate bid to paper over the cracks in their own storyline.

Rated: 1/5

These Good People should be called Familiar Types.

One Room With A View

In its favour, there's a slick appreciation for the locale - refreshingly drab environments and convincing interiors. But when you catch yourself nodding at set-dressing, it speaks volumes about what's happening around it.

Rated: 2/5
