Salvage (2009)

A shipping container washes up on the beach and shortly afterwards there are several murders in town. The military swarms the neighborhood and orders everyone to lock themselves in their homes. But one mother, whose estranged daughter has run away to a neighbors house, is willing to do whatever it takes to get to her daughter and make sure she is safe.

I didn't find this to be all that suspenseful and I really disliked the main characters. The mother is estranged from her daughter after giving her up in a divorce. Even though it's Christmas eve and she knows her daughter is arriving that day, she still brings home a man whose name she can't even remember. Also the man has mislead her into believing he is single, but he's married with children. Their dialogue does not bring out any inner characteristics that makes you care about whether they live or die.

Also a major problem with the story is that the military has cut all forms of communication to the neighborhood. No ones cell phone will work. Yet at the one point where it is inopportune, the daughters cell phone suddenly goes off.
