Plots(1)
American couple Tom and Anna Wright (James Franco and Kate Hudson) are in the process of renovating their London townhouse but are struggling to make ends meet as they frequently spend more money than they make. When their tenant Ben (Francis Magee) fails to turn down his music after multiple requests, Tom and Anna let themselves into his flat to check if anything is wrong. When they discover Ben's dead body they panic and call the police, but not before Tom finds a bag containing more than two hundred thousand pounds. As the cash-strapped couple decide to take the money to pay off their debts, they soon discover that the money did not belong to Ben and the real owner wants it back. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

James Franco and Kate Hudson probably won't win the Oscar, but at least they kept me pleasantly tense and entertained throughout the film. Story-wise, it doesn't stand out too much and doesn't offer anything we haven't seen elsewhere, but I have to give it a fourth star for the last half hour of the nerve-wracking and decently bloody home invasion. 70%

At first, it seems to have a good atmosphere and suspenseful story, but it eventually turns into something akin to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, with a bit more blood flowing. Franco and Hudson make quite a good pair, which is the main reason to watch it. Omar Sy is odd here, and Tom Wilkinson doesn't have much space and his character feels more like a supporting role.
