Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leofwine_draca 4CLOSED is a not-bad psycho thriller from The Asylum, and thankfully one of their movies that wasn't made to rip-off a Hollywood blockbuster; it's much more interesting and fresher as a result. The slim storyline tries to be up to date with the times by featuring a homeowner who loses his home to foreclosure but refuses to get out when the new owners show up. The film is predictable and could have been made twenty years ago; there's absolutely nothing that happens that you won't have seen done elsewhere. However, I did like the cast members who bring something extra to the story. Marlee Matlin's character's deafness is an unusual and sympathetic touch, while James Denton brings his Mr. Nice family guy persona across from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. SCREAM's Jamie Kennedy isn't imposing at all as the villain, but he is fun, and Paul Sorvino shows up in a small role.

doycesub Another LMN movie that the law enforcement folks are as dumb as a box of hammers and the victim has to solve the crime themselves. As pointed out in other reviews, nobody seems to have any sense at all!!! The suspect in a murder investigation is allowed to have somebody arrested for assault without any investigation at all!! Poor Marlee Matlin seems to have to carry the weight of the story but the script seems to limit her as to how much common sense her character has. Marlee is a very intelligent woman but this movie doesn't show that. The acquiring of a "quick claim" deed was a joke without any attorneys present and the villain but not having to prove who he was but she did!! I patiently waited to the end!!

Desertman84 Oscar winner Marlee Matlin is one of my favorite actresses.She was definitely worthy and deserving of her Academy Award for Best Actress from the 1986 movie Children Of The Lesser God.Too bad that I rarely see of her movies these days.That is why I was fortunate to see her once again when I was tuning in at the Lifetime channel and see her in Foreclosed,also known as 4Closed.Jamie Kennedy,James Denton,Paul Sorvino-stars with Marlee in it.The story of the movie directed by Nick Lyon is about a family who is currently shopping for a new and cheap house and decided to buy on a foreclosed home.Unfortunately,the former owner would not take "no" for an answer and would not want to let go of his previous house.He keeps close to the new owners by life close by.When he could no longer bear not living in it,the former owner apparently happens to be a psychopath and decides to kill each member of the family.He does that through manipulation by setting each one of them with each other.And just like any typical movie from Lifetime,the family eventually finds out and brings the previous owner into justice as always.No question that we have a common storyline here from Lifetime.The only difference is this time the villain could not let go of his former house instead of having someone who could not let go of someone he/she is involved with in an illicit and adulterous affair.But in spite of it,it was nice at least to see the beauteous and talented Marlee Matlin in another fine performance.Added to that,the suspense and thrilling scenes were fair enough for entertainment.

edwagreen By the way, whatever happened to the first realtor and that nosy neighbor? We know what was done to them, but how about their ultimate fate?Mother died and left sunny boy without his house. A family consisting of a father battling alcoholism buys the house and our disturbed evicted tenant seeks revenge by literally trying to destroy their lives.Naturally, the father is implicated by the police in an attempted assault on this nut-job. The daughter thinks that a guy on- line is befriending her while it turns out the guy is you know who.Paul Sorvino plays the father-in-law who is suspicious of his son-in-law and is willing to condemn him every minute.Marlee Matlin is the mother in all this.The attitude shown by the father at the end of the literal blow-up is somewhat inane. "It was just a house." No, this was just your ordinary film with quite predictable circumstances and conclusion.
