This movie has a lot of people that I knew from other movies which automatically earned it one star, and it did keep me semi-invested for the entire picture which is what earned it a second star.
HOWEVER, this movie is utterly ridiculous through and through. There were SO many opportunities for the "victims" to get the upper hand! It was frustrating for no reason!
The youngest thief should have succumb to his injuries 5 minutes into the movie NOT lasted through the whole thing and back healthy again at the end! Beth was an idiot who didn't learn from her first mistake where she knocked the thief over the head and failed to grab the gun which resulted in her being recaptured. No, she did the exact same thing with mommy dearest and of course she lived and ended up causing more trouble, EVEN UP TO THE VERY END! The thief girl was stupid, useless, and served absolutely NO POINT to furthering the plot. These thieves LITERALLY SNUCK AWAY FROM THE POLICE IN A TATTERED OLD WINNEBAGO! AND WHAT HAPPENED TO TERRY, Gina's husband?! Beth's husband was a coward who NEVER redeemed himself.
The movie could've been over within 45 minutes if the captured group collectively had one single brain cell to share between the lot of them. SORELY DISAPPOINTED, but it did keep my interest the whole time so that's something I guess.
