    Boored
    2021 thriller and sci-fi movie. With the financial collapse of unknown cause, people are starting to loot. Everyone is taking precautions to defend themselves. A wealthy family living far from the city center watches this on TV first. It doesn't take long for the looters they follow to get there. Then they find a place for themselves in the shelter of their next-door neighbors, but over time, a power struggle begins.

    I didn't like the movie. The cause of the situation is unclear. Most of the characters are annoying. Mediocre i think. No nudity scenes.
