#whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)
"A man (Jason Segel) is robbing the vacation home of a wealthy tech billionaire (CEO - Jesse Plemons). Before he can escape, he is caught by the CEO and his wife (Lily Collins). The man freaks out and decides to hold the husband and wife hostage.
Overall, it's a pretty good thriller film. I felt like I was watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Jesse Plemons does a fantastic job of playing a wealthy/pompous/obnoxious/sarcastic CEO. Lily Collins really shows us how she doesn't have a voice in their marriage and that every aspect of her life is dictated by her husband. The married couple are an entertaining bunch to watch as they aren't exactly on the same page. For some reason, even though the man is the one robbing them, I kind of felt sorry for him (Jason Segel).
Will the couple be able to get away from him?
Who is this guy? What does he want? Can they convince him to go away?"
