I am not the only person to register with this site to write a review on this film which does not surprise me given what I have seen.
This film is about a happily married family man(Keanu Reeves)who is targeted by two young women who appear on his doorstep one evening when his family are away. They proceed to seduce, blackmail, overpower and torture him. The film ends with an explicit video of their encounter being uploaded to his Facebook account and his family returning to their vandalised home whilst he is left immobilised in the back garden. At the end we learn that the modus operandi of the two girls is to find and seduce married men and then ruin their lives by revealing the depravity to their loved ones to teach them a lesson.
There is no discernible plot. The acting is mediocre and there are simply no positive comments I can make about this film. The whole concept is ridiculous and there is never any real suspense other than hoping the film will end swiftly.
Now, I could have ignored this movie had it not been for Keanu Reeves. Once it would have been inconceivable for a distinguished man of his standard to accept a script like this. I am worried for him. Is he in decline? On the evidence of this movie he could dare I say it end up like Nick Cage and so many others. It's a sad day.

Has to be in running for the worst Keanu Reeves movie EVER.
I appreciate the fact that he's 50 and looks 35, I was even starting to think he was gonna have like some Matthew Mccona-however the fuck you spell it renaissance with John Wick and that ronin movie, even though Keanu, in his 30 year career has NEVER in my opinion, but a particularly good actor and this movie exposed the hell out of that.
First of all, Keanu was going against his type cast, and watching him trying to be like normal upbeat dad guy and joking with kids and shit came off awkward and forced as hell because he's no good at "emoting".
Second, nobody and I mean nobody believed either of those girls were 15, so suspension of disbelief is already difficult.
Third, usually when you build a villain up for upwards of 45 minutes, they better get a hell off a comeuppance at the end, these bitches got NOTHING, they basically raped and tortured one guy and murdered his friend and got off clean without a scratch on them.
So many holes in this movies as well.
For example, in the final 20 or so minutes, it's revealed he had a gun hidden in some piece of pottery or whatever it was, but for some reason, whenever he got free, he never went for it, opting instead to attempt to strangle them.
His racially ambiguous friend Louis (couldn't tell if he was black or Spanish) does this spiel when he realizes something fucked up is going on about being from Oakland and not taking no shit blah blah and instead of untying Keanu's character, he decides to get all up in arms over some piece of art and ends up dying like a dickhead.
They also said the girls went to every house during the night scene and that nobody in the whole neighborhood was home so he could scream for help all he wants.
I mean you're telling me in an affluent looking neighborhood that there's not one person in their home at all at night during this whole ordeal?
And I hate to just beat this point home, but GOD Keanu reeves was awful, it's bad enough he kept his EXACT john wick look, which made it seem as though he filmed this right after filming wick, but he delivered his lines with as much enthusiasm as a guy getting pulled out of a ménage e trois with 1999 Jennifer Lopez and 2002, fuck, 2015 Monica Bellucci to go home to 2015 Amy Schumer.
And the best part of all of this shit is that no real motivation nor any background are ever given on these 2 girls, why the blonde with the thick accent insists on calling him daddy and acting fucking crazy, why they run around fucking up guys lives, where they come from, how they were able to spy on him, nothing.
