D O N ' T B R E A T H E
Rocky, Alex, and Money are three friends who live in Detroit, Chicago trying to make a buck. What do they do? They break into people's houses and loot them of valuable items to sell. Alex is the hacker that can disable any house alarm system just with the push of a remote button.

Money is the one with the tips of the valuable houses, and Rocky is the pretty girlfriend to Money.
Money gets a tip for a house that has $300K in cash. That much money would allow the trio to get out of Detroit and go wherever they want. Alex doesn't want to do it because having that much money as a trio of kids from Detroit would raise major suspicions in states abroad. But he does it anyway, and researches their guy.
He's an army veteran that got a Veteran's compensation of a handsome sum, and is living modestly in his neighborhood. So the trio set up a camera to watch the house for five days. Their guy doesn't leave, and on the sixth day, they're in a car across from the house in question debating when they're going to pull their heist. They see their guy walking his dog, but he's blind. So they decide to go in that night.
At 2 A.M., the trio walks up to the front door and find it has four locks. Alex suggests the side door and throws a little something to the blind man's bulldog to make it fall asleep. They find that the side door is barred and locked, so they try the cellar just to the left of it. That's locked, too. However, there's a window just up and to the left of the cellar that Rocky can fit into.
She climbs in and shuts off the house alarm and then lets the other two in. The house is all hardwood, so they take off their shoes to avoid making a lot of noise. Money cooks up a little concoction that, when released as steam, will cause the blind man to sleep heavy-like. So Money goes upstairs to find the blind man's room which has a television running, and stabs a pencil into the water
bottle and then looks up.
The blind man is sitting up. He picks up a remote and turns off the t.v., then goes back to sleep. Money lets the concoction loose and heads back downstairs. They try breaking into the cellar, which has a lock to it, and Money can't get it open with a crowbar. So he whips out a pistol.
Alex freaks out and says he wants no part of this if there's a gun involved, so he leaves. Money then shoots the lock and is about to open the door when he and Rocky look right. The blind man is standing in the doorway that leads to the upstairs.
"Who's there?" he asks.
Money holds up his hands and backs away from the door. "Look man, I was high, and I just stumbled in here, so that's my bad. I'll be going now." The man starts walking towards Money with his hands raised, and Money points the gun at him.
"Whoa now, don't move. I'll shoot you." The man keeps pressing forward.
"I swear to god old man, I'll shoot you!" He keeps moving forward, and Money shoots a nearby pipe. "I'll shoot you! Back off!"
When he's close enough, the old man grabs the gun with one hand and Money's throat with the other, pointing the gun at Money. Then he pulls the trigger.
Outside, as he's walking home, Alex hears the gunshot. He books it back. At the same time,
the old man begins making his way to his front door. Rocky then moves to a nearby closet. Alex walks in, closing the door behind him silently, then turns towards the hallway and sees the man walking straight for him. He presses himself up against the hallway wall, and slips on by to the bathroom.
The old man locks his door with all four of the locks, then just as he's about to walk away, he stops. He sniffs the air. Then he sniffs again. He crouches to the floor, sniffing like a dog, and finds Rocky's and Money's shoes. He takes a good whiff, and he's aware that he's got at least one other person in his home.
So begins the struggle to escape this unnamed blind veteran's home. He's a merciless killer, and he will stop at nothing to kill every last intruder.
Ratings:
Family Friendliness- 4/10 BIG no no for anyone below the age of 14. I'd even go so far as to say this is not appropriate for 15 year olds. But then again, it's your judgment. Just please watch it first before showing it to your younger kids. ****There is a scene where the old man is going to place his sperm into Rocky in order to have a child through her because his daughter was killed in a car crash, so he just wants another kid. Super gross, but just had to letcha all know.****
Story-line- 6/10 It's kinda the cliché Chicago kid story. They're poor, wanna get rich quick and get out, so they do something stupid and dangerous and end up, well... you'll have to see the film. It's very suspenseful and stressful though. So if you're into that kinda stuff, this is the movie for you.
Suspense- 7/10 I get very stressed out very quickly during films, and this was one of those extremely stressful films. I recently saw "Split", and I'll tell ya that this film was stressful, but "Split" was a brilliant stressful. Stay tuned.
Overall- 7/10 In terms of the math, this movie is not the best that I have ever reviewed. It's a nice Friday night film to watch with your friends when you're all bored, or if you're having a Halloween Sleepover like I often do. The math was actually supposed to come out to a 5.6, but I gave it grace because this kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a little graphic and suggestive, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
