Dir: James McTeigue (15, 90 mins)
Payback is a mother, apparently, in this B-movie home invasion thriller as Gabrielle Union turns the tables on the fools who were stupid another to break into her old family home. She’s about to sell her Dad’s house, which is full of burglar-worrying gadgetry, protecting a large amount of cash. Which is what baddy Billy Burke and his crew want. They get inside, leaving Union outside, with her two kids, stroppy teen Ajiona Alexus and clever younger son Seth Carr as hostages. So she has to, ahem, break in. She goes full Bruce Willis on them, trying to outsmart them with her knowledge of the house and its protective systems whilst also opening a can of whup-ass. A straight forward, sassy thriller with some groan inducing lines, sporadic violence and Union capably being an action heroine.
