Another LMN movie that the law enforcement folks are as dumb as a box of hammers and the victim has to solve the crime themselves. As pointed out in other reviews, nobody seems to have any sense at all!!! The suspect in a murder investigation is allowed to have somebody arrested for assault without any investigation at all!! Poor Marlee Matlin seems to have to carry the weight of the story but the script seems to limit her as to how much common sense her character has. Marlee is a very intelligent woman but this movie doesn't show that. The acquiring of a "quick claim" deed was a joke without any attorneys present and the villain but not having to prove who he was but she did!! I patiently waited to the end!!

It was refreshing to have a movie from The Asylum that was an original movie, and not just a lower budgeted version of a forthcoming blockbuster - as they tend to do.I will admit when I saw it said The Asylum on the screen as the first thing, I was about to already give up on the movie before it had even started. But I decided to let it run anyway, and good thing that I did, because "4Closed" turned out to actually be rather enjoyable.The story is about a family that makes a purchased on a foreclosed house from the bank that seems too good to be true. Upon the day of their great move, it turns out that the former owner of the house is still living there and refuse to give up on his home. With the police on their side, the family have the guy evicted and they can move into their new dream house. But the former owner is going to let his property find its way to other hands without a fight.The movie stated that it was based on true events, of that I am not sure just how much was based on the story or how accurate it was, because I am not familiar with a story such as this having happened for real.The Asylum had upped their game and brought a good ensemble of acting talents to the movie; Marlee Matlin and James Denton did have good chemistry together. It was a shame that Paul Sorvino didn't have a bigger role than he had. I was somewhat skeptic about Jamie Kennedy in the role of the crazed home owner, but he actually pulled it off quite nicely, and this is a good step away from the usual comedy stuff that he has to his name.There is a good pace to the storyline and the movie does keep building up tension. So thumbs up to director Nick Lyon for this."4Closed" is a good movie that is entertaining and does have an interesting story. Definitely a bright moment for The Asylum here.

By the way, whatever happened to the first realtor and that nosy neighbor? We know what was done to them, but how about their ultimate fate?Mother died and left sunny boy without his house. A family consisting of a father battling alcoholism buys the house and our disturbed evicted tenant seeks revenge by literally trying to destroy their lives.Naturally, the father is implicated by the police in an attempted assault on this nut-job. The daughter thinks that a guy on- line is befriending her while it turns out the guy is you know who.Paul Sorvino plays the father-in-law who is suspicious of his son-in-law and is willing to condemn him every minute.Marlee Matlin is the mother in all this.The attitude shown by the father at the end of the literal blow-up is somewhat inane. "It was just a house." No, this was just your ordinary film with quite predictable circumstances and conclusion.

It was amazing watching so many ridiculous scenes in this movie. Right from the start the guy starts killing people that just "disappear" from the story line like they never happened. When you watch a movie you expect to people react to situations just like you would, these people reacted like they were mentally challenged. You spend your whole time thinking: why didn't they do this or that, why can't they tell why all this is happening to them? I mean, you your whole bank account disappear with all kind of strange charges couldn't your first thought would be to call or go to the bank? Nope, they just start arguing about his "gambling" and "drinking" habits. Anyway i just finished watching since i had it taped and was able to fast forward at the end.
