Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including murder-becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide. Written by Universal Pictures

From the producers of Paranormal Activity comes a fresh new idea. In the near future when crime and unemployment is at a all time low the government hold a crime is free type of day, almost like a national riot, police ambulance all suspended for 12hours. This is what helps the crime rate stay low, difficult theory but also abit silly.
A family help a man into there house but become surrounded by gangs after him. Is it right to let this man out and be killed or should they do the right thing and hold up in there home for 12hours.
This movie to be released soon has all the features of horror/suspense and thriller. Great acting all round and keeps the viewer wanting to watch more which is difficult to make nowerdays. Its a good winner but i do feel it fails in details. This film remindes me of 'Assault on precinct 13 (1976)' mixed with a slice of 'killing zoe (1993)'
