Warning: Spoilers
Technically, the movie was OK, and the opening credits were unique, since it was not only the actor, but their role which was indicated. Richard Gates is excited to be able to market this 1870 building, where after much discussion among the heirs, a sell order was given to convert it into condos. The snag is Kate, a 10 year tenant, who does not want to move. He says he can offer her a great deal to move out, so Kate decides to play the seductress, drugs him (a little too obvious with a fizzing pill in the shot glass.....) and he wakes up chained in a brick cell. But Kate forgot to take his phone, so he gets a call out before she realizes it, and one was to his grandmother, who then starts searching for him. And Kate slips up, and calls him James, which leads to why she doesn't want to leave. Despite what was shown in the end credits, for me it seemed like too much of the movie was first takes and little or no rehearsal. And that sense took so much away for me in enjoying this movie. It is not like in some low budget movies, where they show a total lack of talent and skill. Because the movie did not look sloppy. But towards the end there were some terrible plot holes that didn't have to be there because I don't think what happened was possible. But to explain would give spoilers.
