HOME INVASION is a straight-to-video B-movie thriller that openly copies PANIC ROOM but comes across as far inferior to the David Fincher film. This one sees an ageing Natasha Henstridge playing a mother who is forced to take refuge her own home alongside her child when it is invaded by a bunch of criminals looking for loot. Her only ally is a security operator on the outside, played by a tired Jason Patric in one of those sitting-at-a-desk type roles. Truth be told, this is a typically cheap and overwrought production, with Henstridge failing to impress and the story piling on one cliche after another. I laughed out loud during some of the attempts at more serious moments. The one highlight is the presence of martial arts expert Scott Adkins in the cast, but sadly he's not enough to save the film - and he doesn't even get to fight.

Actually i have never seen a movie like this, worst EVER!. waste of time i think if i had a beer in graveyard it would be much useful, i mean how can his friend have an safe jacket and the boss doesn't? is it about home security commercial, i hope the actors and the director and the writer dies for wasting my time plus a lot of mistakes come on we are in 2016 and we still have common mistakes? if she rode the car out of the garage she could've break through! and that kid ran out for no reason without any warning how possibly a kid freaked out do this, maybe had some experiences before... what is it in that safe? who is that women who is that guy who stood for an army cause the boss said ï will make it worth your while? oh my god i feel the writer is mocking the audience ..or the watchers..

Home Invasion is a movie about good guys who universally act stupid. It's like a slasher film where many end up cheering for the slasher. While the acting and filming are okay, the heroine's "thinking" and the security guy's advice were idiotic. SPOILER ALERT! Imagine a home security "911" operator (another hero) finally asking a woman trapped in a home invasion (and after murders have happened) if she had a firearm -- NINETY minutes after the invasion started. (Well, sure -- she never thought of that!).If that were the only example, I might be able to let it pass. But the heroine and her bozo son can't bring themselves (SPOILER ALERT) to kill the murderous, sadistic bad guys trying to kill them. Sure, knock 'em out, tie 'em up and run. What could go wrong?It was a great disappointment when the good side triumphed.

I very much enjoyed this movie and think people need to give it a chance. It's about caring also not just terror. Jason Patric is great in his role and shows the length a person would go to save another. Yes some of the scenes are repetitive, but in that situation for real that's exactly what would happen even without someone walking you through it. I feel this movie is not a waste of time to watch and fact is home invasions do happen all the time. This film was realistic and not overdone and fake. Everyone has their own opinions,this just happens to be mine.Take 85 minutes and give this movie a try. It was entertaining and definitely worth the time. I am glad I stumbled upon it
