While She Was Out: Review By LickTheABCs

"While She Was Out" is a tiny little wanna-be thriller that forgets to thrill. No wait, I'm sorry. It tries. It just fails miserably.

Extremely similar to another upcoming "Eden Lake" it, again, is a film about a suburban woman who is on the run from "scary" teenagers. Because, as if we've learned anything from the movies, teenagers are our biggest threats. Oh, and nobody in Movieland charges their cellphone.

The film is SO spelled out it must have been made for the "casual" film goer. I'm guessing if you've seen at least 6 films (not counting Disney) you'll laugh at moments that were made to be tense-filled. I mean, seriously. You run from the bad guys and leave your purse but take the... toolbox? Really?

I didn't talk about the acting, well, because there isn't anything to talk about. The "villains" aren't terrifying, in fact most scenes involving them being serious end up being some of the funniest. That might have a little to do with the fact that Lukas Haas has the acting range of Jeff Foxworthy's mustache.

This movie exists for 1 reason, and that's to see Kim Basinger stab somebody in the nose with a tire iron.
