In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons the government has sanctioned an annual 12hour period in which any and all criminal activityincluding murderbecomes legal. The police cant be called. Hospitals suspend help. Its one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandins (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now it is up to James his wife Mary (Lena Headey) and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.

Review

I was intrigue by the plot of the story and eager to wait until the end. But what did I get is a bunch of stupid characters. A son that has no brain (it is forgiven if he's is much younger) who open a door to a stranger (didn't your mum teach you not to even talk with a stranger) then come the stupid daughter who suddenly went alone in the dark house immediately after the boyfriend's dead with no logic reason or explanation and a wife who volunteer to find the potentially dangerous stranger (or is it the daughter)in the dark even after gets a clear instruction from the husband to stay in the room And then has a guilty cum humanity conscious towards a man that she just poke on the gun shot wound on Stupid son stupid daughter and stupid wife....pity the man. Hope there's no real family like this out there. And I end up watching this movie half way coz I feel so annoying being fooled by the stupid character with a stupid act.
