*** NO SPOILERS ***
The idea behind the whole movie is great: someone gets evicted from their home, because it was foreclosed by the bank. A great setup that appealed to me, so I decided to watch it.
You know, when I watch a thriller, I want the actors to act like a normal person would. That makes the movie believable, and contributes to the entire story line.
What I don't like, is certain events that move the story line into a particular direction, but are on completely unrealistic behavior. This movie is literally packed with those. There are more than a dozen of these scenes that will make you stand up and shout: "Who does that!".
Some examples
*** SPOILERS ***
The girl is meeting the weird Forest Hayes in public, and he's touching her face and hair. She is not creeped out, and doesn't mention it to anyone. "Just another day of the weird guy touching and threatening my family lol".
Someone has made 10k+ fake transactions from your bank account. Better not inform the bank, money doesn't matter.
The police, looking for Forest Hayes in regard of a murder case, yet take the husband under arrest for a bar fight, but Forest is not a priority.
Everybody enters the house one by one, notice a BOMB on the kitchen table, and don't call the cops. "cause you know whatever, bombs yolo"
The mom just zapped Forest Hayes, taking control of the situation, as he is half passed out on the floor. Instead of tying him up or zapping him some more, they leave him alone and start looking for an exit, so he can recover and blow up the house. Because the guy LOVES his house so much that he wants it back to BLOW IT UP.
