please pay attention film maker and this be not how you should make a movie . while deadbolt be hardly the bad movie i have ever see and i just can not exactly call it a good or effective one either . it hardly have any good idea of it own and it use a bad build up and which just never pay off in the end . it obvious that this movie get make for tv . it have this typical look and atmosphere over it and which a movie just have never ever benefit from . it also painfully obviously that the movie just do not have the most talented people involve in the creation process . both the acting and the directing be really lacking and as well a the story obviously . besides the fact the story be hardly anything original and be something that have be do a lot well in earlier genre movie and the movie also have some real problem with it build up and logic . the build up be simply far too slow and basically nothing good or interesting be happen in the movie it first 30 minute . after that the thriller elements more or less start to kick in but again and it doesn not use a good enough build up for this to consider this movie a successful or effective genre piece . the movie just never become tense and also since you just simply couldn not care less for any of the character and which be mostly due to the act performance from it actor . justine bateman be just not the kind of actress you should give the main lead . she be good enough for small bit in tv series but let her carry an entire thriller movie on her own be a very bad idea . sometimes i like adam baldwin in his role but main problem with baldwin ( no relation to the baldwin brother ) be that ever since his full metal jacket he think he can just play a psycho in every movie and that he can get away with just everything . grant that he always get typecast a lot though . he play his role in this movie far to over the top and which just doesn not make his character really believable and therefore the movie a a whole also just doesn not quite work out as intend . the movie also just do not always make quite sense to me . so you turn into an obsessive and murderous psychopath when your wife commits suicide . and after you have be lock up for 5 week and with very little food and water and by a man who have murder your ex husband and your best friend and your roommate to be and all you worry about be what the police be go to think . some thing within this movie just do not make much sense and which also make this movie quite ridicule in part . it also of course a fairly predictable movie and also since it just isn not the most renewing or original one around . it the kind of movie of which you just know in advance how each scene be go to end and how go to live or die and how and when . youre simply well off not watch this little unknown tv movie thriller . 4/10 .
