While She Was Out
AICN has exclusively posted the trailer for Susan Montford's While She Was Out (12.12), an effective, pared-down thriller about Kim Basinger vs. a crew of low-rent, white-trash predators led by Lukas Haas. (Yes, the cute little Amish kid with the big black hat in Witness has grown into a grungy guy with the demeanor of a sociopath animal.) Is Montford the new Kathryn Bigelow?
Here's a riff on the film by AICN's Moriarty, and a take by Latino Review's George "El Guapo" Roush

Gotta hand it to Don, this looks pretty fucking cool. I love movies like these. Dig that title too.

Looks cool. And good for Basinger. She was quite effective in Cellular, a movie ruined by switching focus from her to the bland Chris Evans character.

I don't know what you guys are talking abut but this looks lame, and lukas haas looks about as believable in that role as mos def in 16 blocks.

I'm a sucker for these prey-becomes-predator flicks. I was sportin' a giant grin for the last twenty minutes of Death Proof.
As for the term "white-trash", I think Louis C.K. said it best:

(It starts at the 1:30 mark.)

Not only are the white trash predators after her but also I guess some Asian guy too. It's a twist!

Who's releasing the film in the U.S.? The IMDb page doesn't list a domestic distributor, and the trailer didn't say either.

Boy, between this one and the new Eastwood film I guess Asians are the new [bad guys].
Looks pretty badass though. Much more hardcore than any Panic Room or Brave One.

"Is Montford the new Kathryn Bigelow?"
Is Lukas Haas the new Ben Foster?

Actually watched it.
Jeez, man. Red-band trailers are cool, but don't show the actual deaths of the bad guys! Talk about spoilers.
Basinger is 55. She should be the grandmother of those kids. A smart movie can pull it off, but right now I'm having a hard time buying that she could get the better of four young (armed) guys.
And of course, the minority character babbles on about spirits. What, they couldn't find an American Indian?

While She Was Out actually opened here, in Greece, a while ago. Now, Greece is a country that has a thing for stars, along with the rest of the world outside the US, I guess. But few went to see the movie and even fewer took kindly to it.
I didn't catch it so I can't really comment any further, though.
