Plot In a Nutshell: A family man (Keanu Reeves) gives shelter to two seemingly lost young women caught in a rainstorm, realizing too late they are not as innocent and helpless as they first seemed.
Why I rated it a '7': This movie will likely get under your skin. It might even aggravate you. But boy is it effective in doing that, and so credit must be given.
As mentioned, the family man (Reeves) finds himself in way over his head when two pretty young things come knocking. He tries to hold his own but is soon overwhelmed by their aggressive sexual talk and behavior, as probably 99% of guys would be. When he finally makes a stand and it seems his ordeal is over, we learn it's really just beginning.
What makes the film effective is that most of what we see seems believable. We don't know why the girls are acting this way, but we don't have to know. Why did that dude go shoot up the school in Uvalde? Who the heck knows? But we know he did it. People do evil things all of the time. This is life. This is reality. Life is not a fairy tale.
I see several comments on here complaining about the ending. They wanted Reeves to "get justice." Well, again, this is reality. Good does not always win over evil. Things do not always end "happily ever after." Sorry. In real life, sometimes the bad guy does win. Deal with it. If you want fairy tale endings, then go back to watching Disney films, and leave adult films for the adults lol.
P. S. Getting real tired of reading reviews where someone writes "this is the worst movie ever." That is pretty much the most pathetic, exaggerated, unimaginative comment you could make. Do better.
