All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Another LMN movie that the law enforcement folks are as dumb as a box of hammers and the victim has to solve the crime themselves. As pointed out in other reviews, nobody seems to have any sense at all!!! The suspect in a murder investigation is allowed to have somebody arrested for assault without any investigation at all!! Poor Marlee Matlin seems to have to carry the weight of the story but the script seems to limit her as to how much common sense her character has. Marlee is a very intelligent woman but this movie doesn't show that. The acquiring of a "quick claim" deed was a joke without any attorneys present and the villain but not having to prove who he was but she did!! I patiently waited to the end!!

Oscar winner Marlee Matlin is one of my favorite actresses.She was definitely worthy and deserving of her Academy Award for Best Actress from the 1986 movie Children Of The Lesser God.Too bad that I rarely see of her movies these days.That is why I was fortunate to see her once again when I was tuning in at the Lifetime channel and see her in Foreclosed,also known as 4Closed.Jamie Kennedy,James Denton,Paul Sorvino-stars with Marlee in it.The story of the movie directed by Nick Lyon is about a family who is currently shopping for a new and cheap house and decided to buy on a foreclosed home.Unfortunately,the former owner would not take "no" for an answer and would not want to let go of his previous house.He keeps close to the new owners by life close by.When he could no longer bear not living in it,the former owner apparently happens to be a psychopath and decides to kill each member of the family.He does that through manipulation by setting each one of them with each other.And just like any typical movie from Lifetime,the family eventually finds out and brings the previous owner into justice as always.No question that we have a common storyline here from Lifetime.The only difference is this time the villain could not let go of his former house instead of having someone who could not let go of someone he/she is involved with in an illicit and adulterous affair.But in spite of it,it was nice at least to see the beauteous and talented Marlee Matlin in another fine performance.Added to that,the suspense and thrilling scenes were fair enough for entertainment.

****SPOILERS**** Far out in left field movie about this nutcase of a guy Forrest Hayes, Jamie Kennedy, who goes to any lengths to get his house back from the Turner family after it was foreclosed due to failure to pay back taxes. It's Hayes' ability to be able to go in and out of the house undetected that makes him be able to drive the Turners crazy and by stealing their identity almost into bankruptcy. It's when Hayes kidnaps Christine Turner,Alex Frnka, and holds her hostage after murdering his lawyer-For failure to deliver- and a next door neighbor-for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong- that things really start to get completely out of hand.That's when Hayes kidnaps Ally Turner, Marleen Martin,and forces her to sign the house back to him who then ends up escaping and getting both her husband Jack, James Denton, and dad Bud, played by what looks like a 400 pound plus Paul Sorvino, and a squad of local police come to both her as well as Christine's rescue that Hayes plan to get his house back falls completely apart. Seeing that his goose is cooked Hayes in a desperate attempt at revenge by trying to drive Jack, a recovering alcoholic, to drink detonated-kamikaze style-the very thing that he loved so much his family house together with himself in order not to face trial for both murder and kidnapping! It was a shame that it should have ended like this when all then Turners had to do was allow Hayes to remain a tenant in the house that he loved so much in the basement and play with his toys where he spent almost all of his time anyway. In knowing just how crazy and dangerous he is that would have been a very small price to pay as well as prevented all the damage and murders-two at last count-as well as bankrupting the Turner family, by stealing their identity and maxing out their credit cards,that he committed.

By the way, whatever happened to the first realtor and that nosy neighbor? We know what was done to them, but how about their ultimate fate?Mother died and left sunny boy without his house. A family consisting of a father battling alcoholism buys the house and our disturbed evicted tenant seeks revenge by literally trying to destroy their lives.Naturally, the father is implicated by the police in an attempted assault on this nut-job. The daughter thinks that a guy on- line is befriending her while it turns out the guy is you know who.Paul Sorvino plays the father-in-law who is suspicious of his son-in-law and is willing to condemn him every minute.Marlee Matlin is the mother in all this.The attitude shown by the father at the end of the literal blow-up is somewhat inane. "It was just a house." No, this was just your ordinary film with quite predictable circumstances and conclusion.
