If you suspense, you'll like this movie a lot. All of the characters were pretty credible. Perhaps the only aspect that didn't seem credible was that the burglars would choose to strike when they realized that Jodie Foster and daughter were home (as opposed to waiting for them go out the next morning, perhaps). In a way, I found this movie to be reminiscent of the 1967 Audrey Hepburn flick, "Wait Until Dark". The two movies share the following similarities: NYC setting; a trio of bad guys infiltrating the home of an arguably helpless woman; the trio of bad guys looking for something in the woman's home that the woman doesn't know is there; one of the trio of criminals appearing to be more sympathetic than the others (Richard Crenna as "Mike Tallman" and Forrest Whitaker as "Burnham"; and a young girl who helps the adult female main character. There are probably other similarities that I'm overlooking. Overall, this was a very good movie.
