Moaning about convoluted plot lines in a Joel Schumacher film is a bit like going to see a Michael Bay movie and being dismayed the moment he blows up a building. Still, it’s hard to stomach this tepid drama about a diamond dealer (Nicolas Cage) and his family undergoing a home invasion by crooks who think they have the inside track on his safe full of riches. As Cage’s wife, Nicole Kidman stays moist-eyed throughout, while Cage earns credit for delivering lines like, “Your filthy lust invited them in!” while keeping a straight face. Needless to say, no-one is who they seem, and the dénouement is quite improbable. In fact, you’ll struggle hard not to cheer as the Miller home goes up in flames.
