Blindsided (2013)
6/10
The movie is good enough despite using familiar theme
30 November 2022
I saw this movie as "Penthouse North" and not as "Blindsided" which has Sara (Michelle Monaghan) stations herself at home at a "penthouse hotel" hence the title, who was blinded by a suicide bomber employed as a professional photographer at the desert storm war. Her live-in boyfriend is said to be an investor of some kind jewel comp. And it is only then as soon as she returns home she is then terrorized, first by Chad (Barry Sloane) and then later by Hollander (Michael Keaton) regarding the recovery of some of those jewels.

If the theme is familiar that is because it is, it's called "Wait Until Dark" starring Audrey Hepburn as the blind protagonist, Susie victimized by Roat (Alan Alda) and Mike (Richard Crenna). Some of the inconsistencies regarding "Blindsided" is that although Sara lives in a penthouse suite, other neighbors should also be able to hear some of the noises that happened as well whether if it's a gun shot or a fall. And when the fireworks happen where are her neighbors at? It is those questions and more I cannot give it no more than a 6 for it does have a satisfying conclusion it still needs to address more questions.
