I can't really think of anything I didn't like about this movie, which is astonishing to me, as I usually, whether I want to or not, ferret out some major flaw or problem or weakness. Maybe I'm just starved for competent films these days so I over react to good ones, but honestly, I can't think of any major flaw--Good character development, chaotic story and action well played.
This had a great amount of intense suspense, drama, action, unbearable situations, and you are fully immersed into the chaos so that you feel you are part of the family who is trying to escape and constantly thinking along with the characters about what to do next.
The scene where Wilson's character, then later, his wife's character, respectively, are forced to kill for the first time to survive and help their children survive, are really gut-wrenching scenes, as you can see their horror of committing the act, but also can't help but identify and agree it was their only course of action.
There is a lot of brutality in this film with merciless terrorist bad guys killing at will . . . so definitely avoid this film if that sort of gruesomeness bothers you.
Hat's off to the writers, directors, and actors, especially Wilson and Bell.
Well done.
