While She Was Out Reviews

Kim Basinger back on form!!!!!

This is a fantastic thriller that sees Kim Basinger back on form in a situation that could happen to anyone. Beware!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!

This has got to be one of the worst films I've seen all year,the plot was laughable,the acting awful ,especially the bad guys who became a joke as the story went on.Do not waste your time you'll regret it.

while she was out

really bad film could of done better with my camcorder.the end!

Dissapointing

Kim Basinger is the ONLY reason you would want to watch this film... She is the best at being scared.... This is your typical teen scary movie and not really worth the watch.

while she was out

I rented this film with my husband in mind as he likes thrillers.

Usually he is quite during the film.

But this time, he was very animated talking at almost every scene criticizing the bad, script, acting, etc.

I must say, I think he really enjoy that. When it ended he was still talking about it, saying that it was such a predictable, badly acted, badly executed film.

The scenes that are supposed to scare you are so badly done and so unlikely to happen in real life that it makes you laugh!

The criminals were all obviously chosen to match our politically correct society. Each bad guy was such a stereotype of their ethnic minority that it was painful to watch.

The director has clearly watched Kim's previous films and tried to place her in a sexy scene. This totally fails as one thing is watching Kim in 9 and a half weeks and quite another to see her as a 55 year old woman in the woods with a teenager. Sick, really.

If you want a film to criticize get this one!

While She Was Out

Kim Basinger should stick to being the sexy blonde.

This film is 'female rambo has had enough'

Unrealistic, predictable and a waste of rental

WHILE SHE WAS OUT

I expected this to be a run of the mill film about a woman being chased and terrorised by a gang of young hoods who get much more than they bargained for but it had a feminist slant to it which slightly lifted it out of the ordinary. However this in no way compensated for some preposterous turns of the plot, stereotypical behaviour of the gang and some hackeyed conventions that always appear in this genre. It was written and directed by a woman, Susan Montford, and I suspect that there may have been a feminist sub text to the film that passed me by - apart from the fact that if a woman can dispose of a gang of hoodlums using items from a toolbox then she ought to be able to stand up to a wife beating spouse. May be there is some additional symbolism in why Della (Kim Basinger) would flee from a gang of hoodlums through a building site and forest at night still wearing her raincoat and daintily carrying a red toolbox ,that she's removed from her car, as though it were a picnic hamper. Maintaining one's femininity in the face of male adversity perhaps ? Also the gang seemed to be made up of people from each ethnic group usually responsible for crime in the movies. Co-incidence ? I don't think so. The film is mercifully short but it still left far too many loose ends for me I'm afraid.

Z movie alert!

Cheesy thriller in which Kim Basinger's dreary heroine and her incredible toolbox are pursued by Lukas Haas and his dumbass friends. Pacing problems, incredibly silly bad guys, clunky dialogue and huge plot holes abound. It does have a couple of inventive deaths. But that's about all this predictable nonsense has to offer.

thank god 4 the tool box

this film was entertaining,but very far fetched,watchable but nothing special, and the tool box thing just made me laugh

Good watch

Good twists Enjoyable.
