Not a hilarious thriller in a Quentin Tarantino way. But this was kind of funny. Hopefully they intended to make it kinda funny? Ok maybe not, and maybe the scenes where the robber family taunts and tortures the rich family were meant to make us hate the robbers, or fear for the rich family's life. Sorry, that didn't happen. I liked the robber family lol because they did a better job acting. The issue here is that people who make these movies are either effortlessly rich, or lucky and a rich person helped them with their crappy idea. And neither party can relate to normal people, so they don't know how to write, create or portray exciting situations in realistic ways. So sad. You won't believe how many wanna be directors and filmmakers there are too, especially in California where this was filmed. And how many of them socially network to get films like this put out. I laughed the entire time, and I don't think that was the idea. Now, if it WAS the idea, that's pure genius. Would I watch this again? Yes. But only if I'm in the mood to laugh when I have snacks. But not ever if I'm in the mood to be "thrilled." Even for a lifetime TV thriller this was weak.
