You can't just slap a mask on someone and think that makes them a good bad guy.
It gets a little better when the main character goes all John Mclane on the bad guys but it's ruined by the lame ending.
Overall, it was interesting but not worth the hype it got. Basically mediocre.

Ditto, found it pretty mediocre too. I thought the twist would be she used to work for that gang once...anyway, I don't mind home invasion flicks but yeah...when see films like Purge & this gets rave reviews it just becomes quite frustrating. Here are few recent but better home invasion flicks that you can check out...
1. Sleep Tight [2011] (not totally a Home invasion flick, more of psycho-thriller from Spain. Loved it!),
2. Kidnapped [2010] (A Spanish one & I liked it)
3. In Their Skin (2012)
4. In Their Sleep [2010] (A French Home invasion film...it was kinda creepy & atmospheric at the beginning but the ending was a disappointment)
