Good Acting from the Trio of Matthew Modine, Michael Keaton, and Melanie Griffith Stealing the Show.
She Balances a Love-Affair, an Attempt at Lucrative Home Ownership, and a Life Threatening "Home Invasion" by an Unhinged "White Collar" Tenant.
Michael Keaton Underplays His Socio-Pathic Behavior with a Smug In-Control Domination of Events.
He Totally Overtakes a Newly Purchase Townhouse by Modine and Griffith who are in Over Their Heads, both Financially and Emotionally.
Modine Routinely Responds to Keaton's Outrageous and Criminal Assault on Them and the Domicile, with Rage and Out of Control "Payback".
He is Out-Classed by Keaton who is an Experienced Manipulator of the "System" Knows the Buttons to Push on Modine and the Law.
Between the Lines of this Moderately Successful Horror-Tale are Themes about Capitalism and Justice.
Lopsided on Both Accounts against the "Little-Guy" and What it Takes to come out a "Winner"
Fairness and Justice have Little to Do with "Right or Wrong".
Morality is mostly Absent when Unbridled Capitalism and Law Enforcement Run Amok.
Contrivances and "Suspension of Disbelief" Hinder the Film a Bit. It's Best to just Go with the Flow and Enjoy the Show.
With Low Expectations its...
Worth a Watch.
