A Major Disappointment
Jenna Walter
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Beulah Bram
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A couple buy a house out of a foreclosure. They find illegal drugs stashed in the walls, and they realise this is not their dream house. As they are about to leave, their exit is blocked by a neighbour and his accomplice. They realise the house is hiding more than drugs - it's an operation centre buried beneath the floorboards. On the run from the killers who want the drugs and evidence, the resourceful couple will need to turn the tables on their attackers to survive....One of the rare occasions where Dolph plays a bad guy, this isn't your typical action movie, in fact, its more of a thriller than anything else.If you've seen The Purge, then you've seen this, obviously with different story and narrative, but its basically the same, a vulnerable couple in a safe house with no where to go, and vicious stalkers trying anything to get what they want.Its not original, but it looks great, and some of the camera work is worthy of a cinematic release.The couple are nothing special, they are generic and are just there, they get injured, panic, and creep up behind the villains on several occasions to get weapons.Lundgren is fine, he's in his Business man mode, wearing a suit and acting intelligent, and his annoying partner is just there to be angry, and to make things more urgent.All in all, its nothing special, it passes the time, but it looks great....

I Gave this movie a chance because there was nothing else to do since nothing was on TV. Right off the bat we couldn't stand the boyfriends mole. In the beginning the boyfriend went on and on how he had the latest technology with thumb print lock openers, yet when real trouble strikes they can not even think to use an iPhone or some sort of smart phone to call 911. Also how does someone get shot in the stomach and pretend like it never happened. Getting shot n the arm would maybe be believable, but I guess the mole man is really superman and invincible to bullets.terrible acting all around but that was expected from something who can only do movies like step up 2 and sorority row. Don't watch this movie, you will just be drunk and mad.

I will start off by saying that I am a Dolph Lundgren fan. I will however say that I have not loved every movie he has made but I am still a fan. I like how he plays his roles as honest as possible. He doesn't fake it to try to be something he is not. He is not a great actor but a good and honest actor he always give 100% of himself. That being said I can not rate the movie on that and him alone. if you have seem some of his other films and enjoyed them well this one is pretty much the same. The cosmetic view point in this one is even better than normal for his style of films. The story was much better too and the rest of the actors played there part pretty good although I though Dolph was the best. Please don't expect a grand master piece when watching this, remember what type of movie you are going to watch and then sit down and enjoy. Too many people sit down to a Dolph Movie or Stallone or Jean-Claude Vandamme and expect a award winning movie. Why ? When has that ever occurred. Then they say it was a waste of time. .... well sure if that is what they were expecting , they're right but it wasn't the movie's fault. I sat through this and just relaxed and enjoyed like ones supposed to do.

https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Lowedown/386583633764Here's The Lowedown on "Stash House" (A Thriller DVD review)...LIKED IT!Genre: 6 Movie: 4.5What's it about? A couple love their new house, bought for a steal out of a foreclosure. During their first visit they find illegal drugs stashed...in the walls, and they realize this is not their dream house. As they are about to leave, suddenly their exit is blocked by a gun-wielding neighbor Spector and his accomplice.What did I think? It was pretty good. You got Dolph Lundgren and Sean Faris, so don't expect an Oscar worthy performance. For what it was, it was entertaining enough to rent but not to buy. It's like going out to dinner and you come out satisfied. The food was forgettable, but you weren't hungry when you left. It's the Applebee's of thrillers. I give "Stash House" a small, bullet-sized RENT IT.
