If you ever found yourself wondering what First Blood would have been like with Kim Basinger playing John Rambo, then wonder no more-just run to the video store, grab a copy of While She Was Out and prepare to be astounded-for all the wrong reasons.
Never mess with an Oscar winner reduced to straight to DVD rubbish.
It's filled with fascinating ideas, bringing it just a notch above your standard-issue exploitation flick.
Imagine a Lifetime revenge-themed movie of the week intercut with a few death scenes from the cutting room floor of a Final Destination flick.
starts out quite compelling, but quickly it quickly loses steam because it lacks imagination and fails to maintain any credible suspense or thrills throughout.
Lots of edgy night chasing and some tense moments, but the resolution is a tad disappointing
This one should have been released around Thanksgiving instead of Christmas because it is indeed a turkey!
Kudos to whoever came up with the title. The rest of you are fired.
[Kim] Basinger does truly exceptional work in this intimate thriller that marks a promising debut for [Susan] Montford as a writer/director.
Writer-director Susan Montford eschews all plot and character development for the hackneyed action scenes and grade-Z dialogue, while struggling to stretch the paper-thin story into a feature length film.

The emotionally bruised air that’s frequently made Kim Basinger tabloid fodder is also a defining characteristic of her acting style.
The spectacular ending will make every harried housewife in the world ecstatic.
Top CriticKim Basinger does a Dirty Harriet in this weapons of asskicker destruction, pit bull with lipstick get-even suburban battered housewife thriller. And without bringing Alec Baldwin into it, you do the math.
