This is How Movies Should Be Made

Brilliant and touching

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The characters acting was good but the movie itself was just.... Blah. It's like watching a movie and waiting for the movie to really start. It's about a dirty bomb going off in L.A and you're thinking action,suspense and drama but all you get through out the movie is a lot of crying and duct tape. Through out the movie it talks about how the chemicals from bomb is dangerous and maybe even deadly but not one time do you see someone who had inhaled the chemicals from the bomb die, harm, or even infect anybody. All I could say is when you get to the end of the movie you're going to be wondering which was safer the house or outside

Three dirty bombs go off in L.A. which mean the whole city is on lockdown. This movie follows the story of a man living near the city with his wife. All we see is him doing what the radio tells him to do for 90 minutes.This would make a good educational video if it wasn't sold as a disaster movie. It just teaches you how authorities say "We're here to help you" while pointing a gun in your face.Unless you're going to make a disaster movie which shows us what's happening then don't bother. Having a radio playing reports over and over is very dull and extremely lazy.

In Los Angeles, Brad (Rory Cochrane) and his wife Lexi (Mary McCormack) live in the suburb and are in love for each other. Brad is an unemployed musician and Lexi is financially supporting the family. She wakes up in the morning and heads in her convertible to the highway to work downtown.Brad listens to the news that dirty bombs have just blown up in Los Angeles in a terrorist attack and the authorities warning people seal off doors, windows and any opening and stay home. The desperate Brad does not respect the curfew and drives his car to downtown, but he does not succeed in crossing the police barriers. He returns home and the worker Alvaro (Tony Perez) of his next door neighbor requests protection to Brad. They seal themselves off in the house and listen to the radio about the danger of the unknown chemicals and the panic of the population with the hospitals overcrowded. Out of the blue, Lexi returns home covered of chemical ashes. Brad has to come up to a decision about the unexpected return: should he open or not their house? "Right at Your Door" is a tense and scary low budget movie by Chris Gorak. The movie is like a theater play and is supported by the outstanding screenplay, magnificent direction and top-notch performances of Mary McCormack and Rory Cochrane. The twist in the end is absolutely unexpected and certainly makes the viewer think a lot about the attitude of Brad and how realistic this story is. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Toque de Recolher" ("Curfew")

Sorry, but I have to agree with a lot of reviews I read about this film. It starts well and drops dramatically into pointless tedium. I would never recommend this film to anyone. I do not consider it a good example of independent film-making.The way that Lexi comes and goes freely while the rest of the neighborhood is rounded up defies any logic. I really did not understand the point of the character of the neighbor's handyman. He served no purpose in the film at all, the character and his conversations with Brad contributed absolutely nothing. The character added nothing to the plot whatsoever. The character comes and then leaves, offering an explanation contrary to points he makes earlier in the film for seeking refuge in the first place, making no sense at all.The only positive is that Mary McCormack and Rory Cochrane really make a lot out of a truly awful script. The series of pointless conversations between the main protagonists loses all of the tension built in the opening 20 minutes but at no point did I think that their performances were poor. Good actors making the most of poor material.The ending was very clever, even if it was revealed in one mumbled line proffered by a faceless character in a HazMat suit, but by then I had given up caring about any of the characters at all and couldn't wait for the film to end. The ending would have made more sense if we had followed either Lexi or Brad through the whole experience (probably Lexi to be honest) just to have it all juxtaposed at the end. If the scriptwriters had mad Brad a total S.O.B. and Lexi a victim of his selfishness, then the ending may have had more shock value and currency.
