Worth a watch. Excellent performances. Manages to be cerebral and blood and guts exciting at the same time, with moral dilemmas circling like sharks.

Rotten Tomatoes has earned their name here. They are quite rotten when it comes to reviewing this movie. It is so very sad when these guys think they're really good at reviewing, and the audience somehow has earned their respect. It is so despicable at these rotten guys are not willing to go out and make a movie themselves. They like to be an armchair quarterback, trying to impress people without involvement.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can usually see the good in movies, but this was just a waste of time. No plot, no explanations, nothing. Do NOT waste your time watching this movie.

I almost always find a Thomas Jane movie worth a watch this one held up.

Fishburne is a ruthless killer that gets captured on film by a little girl. She makes her way into Thomas' house and the standoff begins. Nothing too twisty happens - but it's an entertaining hour and a half.

It keeps you tensed and anxious and never sure of how anything will turn out. You get your money's worth.

To give credit where it's due, this lukewarm mess of a movie delivers what its title promises.

This overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling.

Standoff is a wondrous display of two talented actors that need more recognition.

Cinemalogue

The concept might have worked better as a short, where the bookend action sequences would have had more impact and the extended middle stretch wouldn't have included so many silly twists and misguided stabs at moral complexity.
