Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Nadine Salakov The performances are great, the story is what is the problem. While She Was Out is unwatchable from the moment of the first kill of one of the thugs. There isn't much to this Flick except people being killed one after the other and that's pretty much it.Viewing this film the first time will have you scared for "Della" played by Kim Basinger, but as the movie goes on - you realise that they messed with the wrong b*tch.It is good to finally see that "Della" is no longer scared of her abusive husband by the end of the movie, and we see that her kids are what keeps her literally fighting for her life, that picture that one of the kids drew early on in the movie is very important to the story, we see that she looks at it at some point while trying to hide from the punks and that picture enforces her to stay alive by any means.I read some of the reviews and some people just don't get it, the scene where she tries to seduce the punk "Chucky" was clearly a ruse as she has a plan for his death, we see that when she is literally on top of him - she tries, nearly fails, but successfully kills him, there is no way she would be able to do that had she not pretended to let her guard down, "Della" was not a stupid woman, she knew that "Chucky" was talking crap about running away together, his plan was to kill her in revenge for his little buddies, and he was going to kill her anyway due to what he did to the security guard pre-car chase.The Film Score composed by Paul Haslinger is fantastic, it has that thriller/creepy vibe and i never get tired of listening to it on my Spotify playlist. Skip the movie and check out the film score instead.

jane2602 This movie is surprising, I'll give it that. Suspenseful, but with a predictive ending. However, the main disappointment is that the story is not relatable or realistic. The main character is an illogical woman who makes a streak of poor choices at the beginning on the movie. Her lack of common sense keeps her from avoiding a horrible experience. It was frustrating to see how many other better options she had at each moment of time. Fiction for the sake of fiction. It seems to me the writer took away at the beginning the character's sense of preservation, out of fear it would have ended the movie earlier or given it a smudge of realism.

bob_meg The premise of this "thriller" (ha ha) sounds kind of cool at first: suburban mom trips to the local mall on Christmas Eve, gets pi**ed at a group of punks who park illegally, and leaves them a (very benign) "nastygram" on their windshield.The punks show up (led by LUKAS HAAS of all people) and proceed to make her life a living hell after shooting a mall cop in the head. They then chase Basinger out into an underdeveloped tract of real estate land where the rest of the movie has her carting around her little red toolbox (get it? she's like little red toolbox riding hood running from the big bad wolves) ready to use all its lethal contents in a preternaturally expeditious manner.The problem is, it's more like Kim versus the four (or were there five) stooges, doing a takeoff on the Toolbox Murders. The goons aren't scary or threatening (did the Lukas Haas ref ruin that for you?) and it quickly becomes one of those "ordinary joe bests the baddies with her common chutzpah and spunk" stories. These occasionally work, but only when there's a real threat...as I said, these douche-bags are complete morons...they practically impale themselves on any blunt instrument Basinger can brandish.And 6 mil for this movie....most of which it looks like was filmed in a vacant lot and bit of scrub creek across from your neighbor's drainage ditch? Obviously a no holds barred attempt to get Susan Montford's name in lights as director and writer...well, sorry --- you can't buy film cred that easily.Even Michael Bay had to roll up his sleeves for a few seconds.

indigosong The genre of suspense films really takes a dive in this one. The big problem is IMPLAUSABILITY. I realize that you need to create difficult situations which would cause suspense and the tense feeling of whats going to happen next, but this movie was so predictable, and is just not believable. I find that the more I watch this kind of movie, the more I am continually saying things to actors to direct them away from danger. Continually making bad decisions just borders on being plain stupid. If they took the time to make it more realistic, I might have enjoyed it a little. Having said that, you might be better off staying away from this one.
