I wanted to really like this movie. I'm a fan of Michael C Hall and him being in this film was the main drawl for me. The premise sounded decent enough. In fact, it sounded original in my opinion so I was excited to settle down and watch it last night.
The movie gets right down to business and I was pulled in immediately. It was interesting to see everything that probably would happen if you happened to kill an intruder in your house. Nothing pleasant there. I actually thought I had this whole movie figured out in fifteen minutes. I couldn't have been more wrong, but probably only because it started off being one movie and ended as another.
Yes, this movie was actually two movies smushed together. Sadly, I enjoyed the first part much more than the second part. At least Michael C Hall was in it from start to finish. Honestly I think each half of the movie had they actually been two separate films would have been great, but as one it felt disjointed.
I can't say enough that it is still an enjoyable film. I just wish it had stayed on the course it started on.
The acting was very good. Sam Shepherd and Don Johnson were great in their roles and I could watch Michael C Hall act in anything. He's just so believable and so real that I find myself totally engrossed in whatever he's doing. He's a very serious actor, but he also does humor incredibly well even in a serious role. I love that!
There was also a thing or two that never did get explained unless I somehow missed it.
