Blindsided (2013)
7/10
Pretty Good
16 September 2015
Sara (Monaghan) a former photo journalist in Afghanistan became blind from an incident there lives with Ryan (Andrew W. Walker) who isn't all he says he is according to Sara's friends. When she returns from buying liquor for the New Year's Eve celebration she discovers that she is not alone in the penthouse, and Ryan is nowhere to be found. Enter Chad (Barry Sloane) and Hollander (Keaton) who are looking for something Ryan stole from them.

This movie is also known as Blindsided, and DAS PENTHOUSE.

Sara claims Ryan only told her that he was an investor and never told her where anything of value was hidden in the penthouse, but Chad and Hollander don't believe her. Hence we have a movie to see if Sara is telling the truth. And so it goes as Sara gets beaten up and threatened and we cringe quite a bit as she gets tossed about quite brutally.

The acting all around is very good. Nothing is overdone.

Ah, I see you are looking for a twist. Sorry, there isn't one. In 2013, twists were not mandatory in movies as they are now. (really?) What we are left with is seeing if Sara, who is blind, can overcome two brutes who just might kill her if she gives them what they want. (hey, you did say she didn't know anything, didn't you?) What do you think? (7/10)
