Penthouse North Film Review

penthousenorthdvdgiveawayPenthouse North has a few things going for it but the main one has to be Michelle Monahan. A brilliant and underrated actress. There are not enough films with a female lead and Penthouse North shows what a waste that is.

The other thing Penthouse North has going for it; it’s an enjoyable thriller. And it has Michael Keaton on top form. Barry Sloane, of Revenge fame, is also good as a violent and sadistic thief.

Michelle Monahan’s character Sara has got to be one of the unluckiest women in the world. As a photojournalist in Afghanistan she loses her sight after a suicide bomber detonates in front of her. She has become reclusive, mostly staying in the penthouse apartment of her boyfriend. But her boyfriend is not what he seems.

Fresh from his leading role in Robocop 2014 Michael Keaton (Batman) stars alongside Michelle Monaghan (Source Code) in action-packed thriller Penthouse North, from Sleeping with the Enemy director Joseph Ruben (Money Train) which comes to DVD and Blu-ray on 3 February 2014.

It’s New Year’s Eve in New York City and a young woman’s (Monahan) penthouse is invaded by Hollander (Keaton) and his sadistic partner. The vicious pair will do whatever it takes – torture, tear the place apart and even kill to find what they’re looking for. While the party rages outside, inside Penthouse North Sara must fight for her life. It’s kill or be killed in this pulse-pounding, non-stop fight to the finish thriller.

While I sometimes found it hard to watch a women being abused by two men, especially one who is blind, Penthouse North is overall a good, triumphant and entertaining film. You see Sara become stronger and stronger throughout. She had become reclusive and introverted, but her survival instinct kicks in; she becomes stronger than ever before. I don’t want to give too much away but it is perfect for an evening’s entertainment. Spoiler Alert; also; don’t worry, the cat wins in the end.
