#Tv tropes shoot the hostage movie
And the film definitely gave me a giddy, dopey B-movie charge at times: I loved, for example, how Lang's sinewy build and sudden movements gave him a terrifying, almost lupine-like physicality (he's one of the better movie monsters in recent memory). As you know, I have a deep affection for grody little thrillers-my favorite movie of the year remains gory but gratifying Green Room, an escape-caper I annoyingly bring up during WIRED's Slack convos at least once a week-and so I am very much in the demo for a late-summer no-brainer like Don't Breathe. He fights back forcefully-killing one of the thieves early on in the process-and halfway through the movie, we learn why he's so protective of his property (trigger warnings abound for this next section, so be advised).īrian Raftery: Angela, before we get into the last 20 minutes or so of Don't Breathe, I wanted to talk briefly about the break-ins, breakdowns, and fake-outs that preceded it-because they play a big part in how the movie's twist played for me. When the robbers break into the home, though, they discover that their intended victim is far more powerful (and devious) than they expected. Why the big windfall? It turns out the sightless survivor-whose name is never given-lost his beloved daughter years before, when she was mowed down by a wealthy teenaged girl, forcing the killer's well-to-do parents to pay off the blind man. We'll get to that moment in a bit, but first, a recap of the movie's admirably simple set-up: In a bleak, barren neighborhood of Detroit, three young thieves (played by Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto) break into the dilapidated home of a blind war veteran (*Avatar'*s Stephen Lang), looking for the six-figure sum he's rumored to keep hidden somewhere inside. 1 in the North American box office, earning more than $26 million, and prompting a lot of conversations about one particularly Super-Awful Scene. Last weekend, the home-invasion thriller Don't Breathe opened at No. *Warning: This post contains spoilers for the film *Don't Breathe.
