When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men to send a "loud and messy" message to the suspected thieves' families. But when the killers invade the Rutledge home, they'll meet the household's emotionally disturbed young son Owen. Owen has a history of violent behavior, knows how to make lethal booby-traps and is about to teach these thugs some deadly lessons in extreme vengeance.

This is poor at best. The characters are unconvincing, poorly cast, annoying and wooden.the script is dire, no development, no reasoning, no build up and the direction is all over the place.The score is weak, poorly executed and gives no sense of timing or relevance.the story is quite original but apart from that its shocking.

A family moves into a new house and they barely manage to accommodate until a bang at the door will change everything for the couple and the two children after four massive mans enters in their home in order to recover an amount of money that Bill has stolen from Bellavance. They kill the parents only to discover that the real problem is his son Owen that is a danger and a menace to society and he should be locked up in a hospital but Bill has get him out of there with the help of the money he has stolen. But is that kid so though that he can beat four mercenaries?The movie will come with a surprise for many and as a shock for others. Like similar movies with the same principle, the grown peoples took the war within themselves in contrast to this where the roles are reversed. The scenario is unlikely to happen in real life but besides that, the acting was good, that kid did a fantastic job protecting the ones around him, and the movie is not boring at all and aside from the unrealistic story could be a good choice.

Four heavily armed hit men and two unusual teenagers go to war over $500,000 of stolen cash.The film is advertised as "Home Alone" with more death. And, yes, I can certainly see that. Granted, it is not funny (unless you spend your 85 minutes making fun of the lead character's stupidity and terrible outfits). And it is not Christmas. But, the basic concept is there.The real selling point for me was the reunion of Dana Ashbrook and Ray Wise ("Twin Peaks"). If you have not seen Ashbrook in a while, you may not recognize him (twenty years later and he is no Bobby Briggs). I can only imagine what it must have been like being on set for the scenes they share.The plot in general is a bit convoluted. Just a bit. You might wonder how the first half is in any way connected to the second. They run together, the film just has a few false starts before it gets going. But, it is relatively short, which I think is a strength -- rather than drag on, the creators knew how to keep the pace going.

The Aggression Scale – TRASH IT (C) The Aggression Scale should have been called "Home (Horror) Alone". From beginning to end, it screams mediocrity. They must be thinking we are making something clever, though don't get me wrong the script is good but it's the execution and continuity of the movie which is horrible. The teen boy (Ryan Hartwig) and girl (Fabianne Therese) did a decent job in running around. all other cast was very tacky and let down from the lead teen actors. There are very few moments which are really gruesome but overall movie is so tacky and pretentious that it loses its focus. No one should waste their time.
