Kyle was a diamond seller, he lived with his wife Sarah and daughter Avery in a huge mansion. despite looking like a happy family, they weren't. Sarah yearned for more in her marriage while Kyle seemed to avoid getting too intimate with her. Avery ignored her parents and sneaked out of the house for parties. right before Kyle left for a business trip, their house was suddenly invaded by a gang of burglars disguising as polices. the burglars told them that they had been spying on Kyle for some time and was aware of the large amount of cash and diamonds he had. despite their threat to kill everyone, Kyle refused to give in, believing once he did it will be the end of his family.
despite having huge casts, we were surprised to find it boring and somewhat awful. some might called Nicholas Cage cool or calm under such stressful situation, we felt that he was a fool for putting his family's lives in danger by going against the burglars. he was so stubborn to give up his cash and diamonds that it was actually angry to watch! as for Nicole Kidman, despite her strong characteristics turned out of be a weak and typical housewife. unfortunately, both Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman felt wasted in the film, which in the end felt like some cheap and random production.
