What a waste of my time!!!

That was an excellent one.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

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

I agree with other reviewer. Story is poor and completely absurd. There is hardly any suspense and does not connect well. Emma suspecting the neighbor from the beginning of the movie, just having a glance at basement, does not make sense. Also in the end, neighbor coming to Emma house and attacking the David outside the house does not make sense, that too without wearing any gloves to protect himself. There are other things that are also not convincing are Michael keeping the girl in the cell immediately after his boy fell from the steps, Readily available cell, girl spending 12 years in the cell without restroom, Emma barge into Michael house to find the wall, etc.. there are so many points that are really illogical. Though movie is not convincing, it is not boring. So If you don't have anything else to do go ahead and watch..

*Review Contains Spoilers* Been awhile since I've seen this movie. But it was a decent thriller. It is pretty well paced, keeps you in suspense. I especially liked Michael Hogan as the creepy locksmith/neighbor. Could definitely see him playing this type of role on the big screen. He kind of reminds me of Frank Langella.Did others notice the similarity of this film to Disturbia and its inspiration Rear Window. Well, I guess its obvious.Anyway, couple of things I did find silly about the movie: - The suspicious neighbor Victoria, manages to break into the basement, break loose a brick and talk to the little girl. Wouldn't the creepy neighbor notice right off the bat the break in the wall- even though she replaced the brick. Not like she had a can of white paint with her.The architect friend. The friend travels miles to check out the creepy neighbors house? Seems a little extreme to do as a favor. & wouldn't she tell her friend in advance that she was coming? And the creepy neighbor thinks nothing of it. The guy is keeping his daughter locked up downstairs- wouldn't he want to check things out with the building commission before letting her in? - Hiding the architect friend in the car trunk. What was the creepy neighbors plans with her? Keep her there for awhile & then kill her? Lock her up in the basement with the daughter? Very strange. Also laughable was that we see the friend with the family and the friend is laughing and clutching her wineglass just like old times. I guess people can recover from trauma with time, but its like nothing ever happened with her at all.The typical 'chase' scene at the end was weird. I think the creepy neighbor knocked the husband unconscious, but just leaves him outside. While the daughter is being hunted by the neighbor, the husband takes his time to unshackle his wife rather than calling 911 or going after the creepy neighbor himself. That was odd.Anyway, likable movie with some good acting, but not great.

Victoria is almost your usual everybody-thinks-I'm-crazy Lifetime heroine, but puts in a better performance than most as do the rest of the cast. there's good chemistry between the husband and wife, and the daughter was a lot less snooty, as Lifetime usually dictates. their family actually seemed to truly love each other.The dialogue and shooting style are what separate this from most of these women in jeopardy thrillers that Lifetime has cornered the market on. And wait, what a truly suspenseful character?... Michael Hogan plays probably the creepiest neighbor ever. Good monologue about his dead dog, kind of like a Kathy Bates Misery unstable character-feel. Would've liked to see more of his character. He's the kind of actor that when he talks, you lean in and listen. All in all, Confined is a fun ride for a small budget movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

Good not great. Seen better and seen worse. But the pace was pretty decent so it keeps you tuned in. Some good action sequences and decent suspense. It's pretty much what I look for in a Lifetime movie. No Emmy here, but you're probably not expecting that from this network.Was hoping it would stick a little closer to the true story but I guess there's only so much you can show on television. Liked the performances all around, which were above par for the course.David James Elliott should be working more. Looking forward to his Hallmark movie.Good: Acting Dialogue Sound ScoreNot so Good: Some of the casting
