Four people are hired by an antique dealer to break into houses and steal valuables. They’re given an address, an item to find, and a time when the home owners will be out. They are paid when they bring in the requested item.
The leader of the group is only doing this to make enough money to put his younger brother through college. His brother stays with the car so he is not involved in the actual breaking and entering. The other two have criminal records and plan to continue their criminal career.
After making enough money for college, the leader tries to call it quits but the other say they want to keep going since they are good at what they do. He reluctantly agrees to do one last job. His brother insists on going in this time. While the house they enter looks like no one has been there for awhile, they are not alone and someone in the dark knocks them out.
When they awake they’ve been transported to the middle of nowhere, released and doused in fox urine. Perplexed as to what is going on, they hear the sound of a hunt and gradually realize they are prey. The family whose house they broke into think this is an adequate punishment.
The biggest issue with this film is there are no sympathetic characters. We’ve got four criminals who break into peoples houses to steal their possessions versus four horrible rich people. The two brothers are the most likable, but it’s hard to like a thief.
