YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE

Warning: Spoilers
Ethan Belfrage (Cary Elwes) is the victim of a home break-in. The problem with the film is that we see a lot of Ethan prior to the break-in, but very little in the way of character building so we could empathize with him. We have two guys tie-up and beat one guy as they ransack his apartment. Pardon my male insensitivity here, but unless one of the victims is a female with at least the prospect of some sexual impropriety, it doesn't interest me.

Of course the writers knew that so they added a miscellaneous victim of the female neighbor (Jess Weixler) who we know less about. His captors blame him for the assassination of their right-wing cult leader who's opening speech was less extreme than what I have heard from my own congressman. And would a xenophobe really order a "caffeine-free ice latte" or was that one of them Hollywood people's idea of a joke? Fairly good cat and mouse game once it got going.

Frank Whaley plays an unlikely bad guy. Andie MacDowell plays the wife of a right wing cult leader.

F-bomb, no sex, no nudity.
