Do not read the back of the dvd. Do not watch the trailer. Just watch the movie - that's the best way to experience it. I recommended this one to a friend and he said he gripped his armchair 75% of the movie! It's in my "keepers".

When was the last time an Owen Wilson movie was good? Never. This was no exception.The plot is horrible - no plausibility between scenes, espeically the helicopter scene was idiotic and the girl's lines after gunfire was nonsensical. This movie just following the Hollywood rules and there is no realism at all.

Having not heard of this film before I watched it on Film4. I was pleasantly surprised. I found it gripping as the family are caught up in a violent revolution. Both the mother and father have to resort to extreme measures in order to protect their family. As they desperately try to seek safety they find themselves running from one perilous situation to another in order to avoid an anti western mob. All in all worth a watch. I even liked the ending.

100% absolutely awesome, and CRAZY! Good crazy, I mean sure it's a scary movie, but it's awesome and so very REAL!!! I love how real the producers made this movie. Things like or similar to this happens all the time, the world is on an edge and it feels like every breath it takes, we tilt a little further forward... this movie is FANTASTIC! It's a must to watch.. don't skip, don't turn around, watch the whole thing! It made me cry my heart out! I loved it! I loved it so much that I'm going to watch it again, the second time in a row in two days. It's way better than I thought it would be and totally threw me off the couch. And yes it has many f words and others, but beyond that, it is very neat and amazing. Though it may not be based on a true story, there are stories out there needing to be told because some things in this movie do happen.
