I was shocked by all the negative reviews - it's by far not the worst movie you could see. Luckily I was curios enough to give this film a try even I've read some of the very bad reviews here. The film has some "sense" issues but I have to say that it was all the time entertaining and exciting. I was never bored and the acting was good. I can only imagine how much fun the 2 actresses had during the crazy scenes.Well give it a try - you will not regret it :)

Before I watch a movie I often find myself reading the reviews on here first. When I saw this movie being lambasted on here with such fervor and by so many reviewers, it had the opposite effect on me. Instead of avoiding this movie, I was compelled to watch it instead. Now I can join the fraternity of people who rated this movie one star and do my best to warn everyone to avoid this movie at all cost. Avoid this movie like it is the plague and there is no known cure for it. Much like everyone else, I have no clue why this movie was made, and the point it was attempting to convey. Maybe this was Keanu living some sort of weird fantasy? That's truly the only thing I can think of.

The movie is insane, and definitely not great in terms of writing, direction, set pieces, etc. However, Keanu does his best impression of Nicolas Cage (a la The Wicker Man), including an expletive-laden rant near the end that makes this comedy worth watching.

This would be a husband and fathers worse nightmare. Is Evan (Keanu Reeves) responsible for the predicament he got himself into? You bet your a## he is. Evan is an architect who is happily married to a successful sculpture artist named Karen (Ignacia Allamand) and admittingly they have been going through a dry spell in their boudoir. So when Karen and the two kids go away for the weekend to a cottage without their daddy/husband so that Evan can finish a big job at home that he has been working on, the family all are in a good place.Then there is that innocent knock on the door later in the evening where Evan is faced with two attractive nubile and very wet and hot looking young ladies who just want to get out of the pouring rain and use Evan's home phone so that they can get to the party that they have somehow got lost and instead landed on Evan's front doorstep.A warm smile and handshake introduction, leads the ladies into a few giggles and then before Evan knows it he is in the shower with the two ladies getting his stick licked and just like Samson who loses his strength when he gets his long hair cut so does Evan after the ladies whack him over the head, tie him up, and ironically cut his hair as well.This is a remake of the 1977 film Death Game that originally starred Sondra Locke, Colleen Camp, and their victim was Seymour Cassel. In fact Colleen Camp reappears in this remake half way into the film as she plays the older, frumpier masseuse who shows up to give Evan a massage but she is quickly turned around by the two younger and aggressive women Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bell (Ana de Armas). Bell displays some really bad memories with her "daddy issues" as she coyly plays with Evan's head. She actually plays with both of Evan's two heads if you get my drift.After terrorizing Evan in his own home, destroying his neat and tidy home from top to bottom as he remains tied up, and then assaulting an employee of Karen's who dropped by to pick up one of Karen's sculpture, we the audience wonder what will happen when Karen and her two children return home form the cottage. And then Karen and her two children eventually come home, walk in the front door and call out to Evan, "Honey ... I'm home".
