I try not to leave poor reviews and find positives where I can, but this film was so bad it was difficult not to.
The 10/10 reviews are laughable. That is faultless. People are are measuring this and giving it a rating exceeding the Godfather and Shawshank Redemption?
As for the film, it started OK, the premise is a good one and the acting good throughout.
But the plot line became farcical. You are locked in a room, your children are outside, and even before the child abuser enters, the mum spends most of the time slumped on the floor, pondering life, like a man watching a passing seagull. It's a brittle wooden door. It didn't need the A-Team to make a lorry to try and get out. Keep kicking a panel repeatedly, running at it, cut it with glass or the screw driver. Failing that, make it a metal door to keep it realistic.
Then eventually, when she did get out and grabbed the kids, every decision was baffling. You get as far away as you can, not make a Sunday roast, with a half dead child abuser on the floor.
It could have been so much better but lost its' way, trying to string out 90 minutes.
