Don't breathe

Rating 6.5/10

Don't breathe features 3 young criminals/looters who had after a series of successful looting escapades decided to make a go on a retired blind soldier who had a stash of cash locked away in his house (damages paid to him by the person that killed his daughter, which amounted to 300k dolls), the trio had hopes of traveling out of the country and never steal again should they be successful, but unfortunately only one of them made it out alive.

Now, the movie was quite a thrill but then I felt they were not being entirely realistic, I mean, regardless of the fact that the old man was formerly in the army and had special skills doesn't change the fact that he was blind, like pitch black kinda blind.

I find it ludicrous for a blind man to over power three human beings who are very skilled in the looting business, what stopped them from putting a bullet in his head from the onset, I mean didn't they want to succeed in the first place... Or maybe I should let that slide but when the man clearly became a threat and also killed one of their cohorts why didn't they also revolt violently instead they were busy running around the house in fear.

#fear I think was the main reason why the two guys died, leaving only the girl, and I didn't really like the fact that only the girl(rocky) survived, I think Alex deserved to live, he was the only one that actually had a pessimistic feeling about the whole operation and urged them not to go on with it, so in the end one would have expected him to come out alive at least to fulfill all righteousness

It's a good one nonetheless

I need your views movie fanatics

Shifting goal posts.

JeromeBlack:

I think what would happen is that the brain would force one to gasp for air but since one is underwater, one will just inhale water and die.

- First highlighted, there is nothing ludicrous about it. When your eyes goes, your other senses naturally heighten.
- 2nd highlighted, they're not trained thieves. They are just three young opportunistic teenagers looking for a quick and easy payday, that's all.
- 3rd highlighted, they're not killers.
- 4th highlighted, the old blind guy was a veteran, and thus, is trained in hand to hand combat. Suffice to say, physically, he was in top shape.
- 5th highlighted, if you witness a murder right in front of yours eyes, tell me, are you going to just stand there, or make a hasty retreat?



Nah. The movie took the realistic approach to life. It's not a matter of who deserves it more, rather, it's a matter of how resourceful you can be if/when life throws you a lemonade.. The dude had his chance to get away, but came back for the girl, and never made it out alive again. He blew it. Life threw him a lemonade, but he didn't know what to do with it.

Bottom line, it's a solid survival-themed horror movie. There are plot holes, but they're few and far between. Deserves more than 6.5 you gave it. Should be 7.5.

The hateful eight: 7.5/10.

BigBros147:

if the brain can force one to grasp for air when one is about to die, why can't the brain stop one from pulling the trigger when one is about to blow his brains out?

BigBros147:
don't forget the most important, which is, they were in the blind's man house. A place he knows like he knows his own dick.

MJBOLT:

i hope you know there are parts of the body with voluntary and non voluntary response

KoiceReloaded:


One is involuntary action, and the other is completely voluntary.

BigBros147:
the parts being? Please name them.

BigBros147:
like reflex action and non reflex action. and someone said I was shifting goal post. Wow.

MJBOLT:

guy abeg,use google

oga,i dont have time to start teaching biology if you can pay me i can be your teacher

BigBros147:
why should I? You're the one who said it, so it's obvious you provide proof, no?

Bottom line, they were right, you were wrong.

alexistaiwo:

Let me throw this in here.....

In movies, we are told that vampires have the power of compulsion and it has also been proven that the brain won't allow death via holding of breath.

What will happen should a vampire compel a victim to stop breathing?

BigBros147:
Don't flatter yourself, judging by the way you debate, you're incapable of teaching.
Thanks.

alexistaiwo:
I don't know what primary school y'all attended but I was taught that voluntary actions are intentional and actions which are brought about by a defined thought process while non voluntary actions are ingrained actions which doesn't need the input of the CNS before taking place example breathing, blinking and the rest.


So should you hold your breath underwater.
Oxygen isn't soluble in water.
It is not the water in the lungs that actually kills.
It is asphyxiation.

MJBOLT:

at least i know what voluntary and non voluntary actions are

BigBros147:

TissuePaper:
yes...i have some observations on the movie also.. I want us to have an interactive session.
