Synopsis
Spoiler shield
When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men to send a "loud and messy" message to the suspected thieves' families. But when the killers invade the Rutledge home, they'll meet the household's emotionally disturbed young son Owen. Owen has a history of violent behavior, knows how to make lethal booby-traps and is about to teach these thugs some deadly lessons in extreme vengeance.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

What people are saying
- CaptStabby
A decent action flick with the novel plot idea that its the kid doing the revenging. Also has the distinction of being one of the rare slaughter fests where one of the protagonists is so terrible you will root for the killers for half the film because the daughter is so obnoxious with her constant whining and sniveling and screaming you will root for her to die so other people can get away without her telling every living creature within 200 yards exactly where she is in the most shrill and annoying way possible.
