Reviews
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
simoncrunch The movie should be called "two people who don't realize the world is now dangerous & act like idiots..oh, and the guy keeps getting his gun taken away"
Techno Sleuth Not sure why this does not get much cred. I thought it was done pretty well, of course I am a fan of these type movies. If you are into end of the world as we know it movies, with out all of the CGI etc. This is a pretty good movie. I won't spoil it, but I thought the tension was palpable and both leads were excellent.
ipacac22 Wow is all I can say. This movie was everything I could want in a post apocalyptic setting. The main characters of Nina and Mark were well cast. The action set pieces and cinematography were executed with attention to detail. I've seen comparisons to The Purge in other reviews but the difference between those films and The Domestics is that the latter doesn't shove political crap down your throat. It's just a straight up action packed thrill ride with our two protags trying to save their marriage and their lives from roaming gangs of psychopaths. I especially liked Lance Reddick's turn as the helpful family man who turns out to be a cannibal. My only gripe is that Kate Bosworth's character occasionally made some dumb moves but I chalk it up to being part of her arc. Overall I highly recommend this film to genre fans and those that want a break from Oscar bait and superhero fare.
Claudio Carvalho IMDb used to be a serious site about cinema; however it is impressive the number of fake reviews some films have after the recent modification of this site. "The Domestics" is one of them. There are reviews promoting this garbage with the intention of luring the unwary reader. "The Domestics" is awful and stupid. There is neither explanation nor development of the situation that caused the apocalypse. Why the black gas was released by the government? The lead couple performed by Tyler Hoechlin and Kate Bosworth show no chemistry. The annoying Nina West after listening to a metal rock very loud (despite the dangerous gangs everywhere) becomes a very bold heroin, shooting at the gangsters. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Os Domésticos" ('The Domestics")
