In the sparsely populated American town, spying on neighbors can be quite a “fun” thing to do. For example, the “The Good Neighbor” recommended by the evil gentleman, a group of bear children in the old man’s house next door to move hands and feet. I thought I had discovered a great secret, but I thought it was just a romantic, sad and heavy past ……
If you take away the good word in the title of the film, unintentional voyeurism is really encountered with the perverted and cruel neighbors. So, how should this good show end up –
The story takes place in the tough Mississippi, the main characters are a loving couple. The man’s name is John, played by Josh Stewart in “The Stash”, the steely face is full of “I have a story”. The woman’s name is Rosie, played by mixed-race beauty Alex Esso, the delicate appearance of the hidden energy is also not to be underestimated. Although the two live on a farm in the suburbs, but not to farm for a living. Instead, they act as a transit point for the drug dealers in town.
They use remote grain silos to move cash and drugs while giving drug dealers shelter and hiding their tracks. John, a retired military man, took this path, of course, and his parents, who died early, and his uncle, who was a big brother, had nothing to do with it. So, the “capable” John, in fact, does not like his job at all. He has been silently calculating, how to take his girlfriend Rosie away from home. Right now, there is a good opportunity in front of the two. Uncle’s new assignment, worth up to 100,000 dollars. Rosie could not resist the proposal to simply take the money and elope. But the contented John still decided to get his share of the money. In any case, as long as the successful completion of this job, they will be able to dream come true.
However, there is no reason why a good flag can’t be turned over. During the day, John went out to work, Rosie loved to use binoculars to spy on the neighbor next door to the farm. Generally speaking, the old-school “redneck” named Troy, but like to use a shotgun to play game. But on this day, he even together with his two sons, killed a young man with a bloody face. Rosie was hesitant to call the police, which thought Troy found out, carrying a shotgun, aggressive to kill her. When John returned home from his business, Rosie was long gone.
The only living people in the neighborhood were the neighbors, and he had to pretend to be calm and visit the door for good reason. Troy’s seemingly teasing jokes, more and more seemingly here and there. John had no choice but to wait for him to leave and sneak into his home. The binoculars in the living room indicate that Troy is also secretly spying on him.
The huge underground space further solidified John’s worries. However, he did not panic to find someone, but very tactical literacy to prioritize the identification of escape exits. Then, John continued to go deeper, a cell after a cell came into view. The boy who had died, was in one of them.
In addition, there is a girl named Sarah (Melissa Bologna), and her boyfriend who does not know whether she is alive or dead. And in the last cell, John finally met the longed-for Rosie. Unfortunately, the locked chains could not be opened, plus Troy and his party returned home. John had to hide in the shadows, while watching to see what happens.
Through the dialogue between father and son, it is easy to see that they are actually a group of repeat kidnappers, not psychopathic killers. Only because the youngest son (below right) is not strong-willed enough, almost let go of the “prey”. Troy had to make an example of them and brought back Rosie, who had witnessed everything. Tonight is just as important for them – Sarah, a rich girl, will officially “cash in” on a large sum of money.
Troy and his sons put on masks and threw the little girl into a room that looked weird and scary. So posed for the video, her parents have to watch the only part of the money …… John took the opportunity to return to his home to get some tools to free the hostages. At this time, outside the house suddenly came a burst of sirens. He had planned to call the police for help, which thought that the police and Troy was a raccoon. The situation is not very clear, John had to follow the original plan to continue to act alone. But when he was about to enter the secret passageway, and his youngest son was not expected to meet. He had no choice but to open a killing spree …… It was hard to return to the basement, but the iron cage holding Rosie was empty. Because Troy had no intention of leaving her alive, she had already taken her back to the bedroom, intending to “make the best use of it” …… John had no choice but to rescue Sarah and her boyfriend first, hoping for a few more helpers. Unfortunately, the boy’s Achilles tendon has long been cut, simply can not move freely. In the end, John had to settle for the next best thing, and arranged for Sarah to start the car and guard the outside. When the time is right and then make a noise to distract the thugs, so that John had the opportunity to rescue Rosie. This worked, the Troy in the dark was fooled around. When he reacted, all that was left was the empty cell, and the body of his young son ……
However, the escape of John and his party, but again suffered a change. Rosie concealed the “goods” from her boyfriend, and her uncle found out and became furious, bringing his men to kill. The two accusations, arguments, when Troy sneak attacked. After a vicious battle, the uncle and his men unfortunately died. Halfway to John was also ambushed by the police, four people were caught back to the “den of thieves” ……
After the plot, the hardcore qualities of this film will be highlighted. No nonsense, no fluke, not to mention the aura of the protagonist, the Johns will be the most realistic, the most intense way, and the fate of the battle to the end – Chained to the bed, Sarah, a change from the usual Missy’s delicate, self-inflicted way to break free of the handcuffs. The first son’s abuse, Rosie, pretended to be submissive and took advantage of the situation to fight back. After gaining the upper hand, she even smashed his head without saying a word ……
Next, Rosie and repeat the same trick, from the hands of the police to save the trapped boyfriend. The final showdown, which took place between John and Troy. After being too old to be defeated, Troy still intends to use rhetoric to disrupt John’s mind. Fortunately, John simply do not eat this set. Years of groping have long made him understand that living in the moment is the way to go. Now that the bonds of the drug dealer’s relatives no longer exist, all that is needed is a fire to burn all the sins. John will be able to go away with the woman he loves as he wishes …… The plot of the film is not complicated, the advantage of the film is the thriller but also the smooth atmosphere and tone.
