"Furie" a.k.a. "Get In" is a good French meanie of a thriller, part one man's tough inner struggle over life, part house invasion thriller, sprinkled with some social commentary and all clothed up in the elements of an art-house. "Furie" entertains us provokingly, and succeeds at putting the viewer in a prolonged uncomfortable feeling, but also has some problems with pacing, realisticity and morality.

Paul (Adama Niane), a high school history teacher, is happily returning home from the summer vacation with his family, but his life starts getting real complicated when his son's babysitter and her husband, whom Paul lend the house for the duration of the holidays, refuse to leave and claim themselves the official tenants. Paul and his family are forced to live in a trailer park while trying to reclaim the house. Nothing goes as it should, and Paul befriending trailer park's manager Mickey (Paul Hamy) isn't helping either.

"Furie" tells a tough and rough tale - on their mission to regain their home, Paul and his family are constantly being put through many hardships - this is where a lot of social commentary has been put into, themes about simple man's actual importance in society, racism, discrimination, family, and both the lack of masculinity and toxic masculinity. Enough of these situations and the circumstances surrounding them put viewer in an uncomfortable position, making him think about the real life awfulness that can happen, and what does one do then. Director Olivier Abbou, however, seems to be struggling with maintaining a morality and message that's not a little corrupted/conflicted, and more importantly, struggling to build a better part of a thriller solely on social commentary rather than accompanying it with other devices of tension. In the very beginning, "Get In" claims to be based on a true story, and first servings of the story might be, but later on, especially in the third act, the movie appears more and more of an typical (but decent) action/horror thriller. One character had the physical endurance of a T-800, couple too many resurrections there.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of the acting performances, I think in this case it was more the actor's work than the writers that made me root (or the opposite) for the characters. Adama Niane made a great protagonist in his continuous struggle to find his true self, Paul Hamy is one nasty villain, and Stephanie Caillard was done a bit of an injustice with a character that should've been more likeable.

Atmospherically and aesthetically, despite being a B movie, "Furie" does a great job, visually it feels downright raw and serious, and often is audiovisually reminiscent of an art-house horror movie, a genre in which France has more than a few good movies. From a technical standpoint, "Furie" is a great indie flick.

"Get In" is a flawed movie, but it's also an interesting movie, overall proving to be visually, atmospherically and morally a somewhat tough experience that, sadly, can also cross the lines with "tiring". I recommend this to all who enjoy French horror movies, house invasion thrillers and grim social commentary. My rating: 6/10.

I had the chance to watch this movie in the Motelx - Lisbon international horror film Festival with the director's presence.

The movie makes a good job of making the viewer uncomfortable by a situation that can happen to all of us: going on vacation this family lend their house to their sons's babysitter and her husband and on their return they find their home locked with the couple claiming themselves tenants. It is clear the social critic to the state system and their inability to look further at situations in a different perspective. Also and mainly, the director makes some statements in subjects as racism, genre, discrimination and lack of "masculinity".

It is a nice thriller but it seems that it is more focused on social critic than buillding tension as expected. Good actors, nice climax and very poor ending. Nice try, let's wait for the next one.

PS: At the end of the movie, there was this Q&A with the director and he wasn't very clear about some choices and claimed the last scene of the movie as his favourite.

Started off with a promising plot but ruined with a ridiculous ending with a bad guy who it appears could probably survive a direct nuclear hit. The acting was good enough. Gave it a five for the first half.

Had a lot going for it and I was all in until a little less than 2/3 in when it changed gears, became increasingly implausible and full of plot holes, and went full-on super-violent gore-horror, which is just boring to me.

Disappointing. As usual, naked women all over the place but the guys keep every stitch on. Sure this wasn't made in Hollywood?

This is quite the story and it is even crazier if you think that in one way or the other, this actually happened. I did not check what was truthful from real life, but just the premise itself is quite ludicrous ... Well not for the owners of the house of course, but in general.

And just the fact that laws let this happen ... this is madness, but then again, we know laws sometimes do not help the innocent, escpecially if some take advantage of them. So there are cliches here and the characters do take steps most will expect, but this is still a thrilling ride and "adventure" and you really feel for them ... all their issues included!

"Get In" has an interesting concept that appealed to me, which is based on a true story about a man dealing with squatters. It's much deeper than that, the movie touches on the concept of John Locke's theory of property, survival of fittest with sex and racial tensions being an underlying element to the entire plot.Other than that, Get in is best viewed going in knowing as little as possible.

The acting is pretty good and there is plenty of gore, at times violent especially in the second half of the film. The climax is very haunting and memorable, adrenaline-fueled ride which I can't imagine horror and thriller fans not enjoying.

The story does seem to overly rely on artsy horror movie tropes than I would have liked, also the set-up is not all that clever or original, in terms of scary, I can't say it was the most system shocking of the mix but it's all done so well that horror movie aficionados won't care. If you dig French Horror, Home invasions, and enjoyed films like Straw Dogs, Funny Games, then this is for you.

A plausable at first, film degenerates into stupid grotty little film.

At first this looked like a good bet but it turns into a nasty piece of work real people don't act like this if they have a shred of decency. Disappointing and sad.

I think that the problem was that the focus of the plot wasn't only on the couple that stolen the house but actually the friendship with the weird guy hindered the story, only on the third act we have a great moment where all the plots collided and we have a amazing conclusion.

I'm amazed so many reviewers found this thrilling or shocking, unless they've spent their whole lives in a nunnery. At the outset, the film offers so much potential but there is little build up of character or suspense and by the time things really kick off, about half-way through, you will no longer give a toss what happens to anybody. Not shocking, not harrowing, not intelligent. Less thrilling than the local weather update on TV.

This movie tries to put the theory of property and survival of fittest inspired by the philosophy of Locke, Hobbes and others into real life. If someone take you property and there would be no instance governing what is yours and what not, what are you doing? Since this movie plays nowadays it shows quite good how dependent we are of our constitution and shows on the other hand how brutal nature can be.

This is a "light version" in the French Extreme subgenre of horror with a touch of Hollywood at some point. Good soundtrack and a plot with some issues. Even so, you'll be entertained.

While watching "Furie", known as "Get In" in English, I was wondering why the French make the best thrillers. I think it's because with thrillers, atmosphere is paramount, and French movies generally privilege atmosphere over most everything else.

"Furie" is no exception. Its atmosphere is tangible for most of the picture. You almost want to look away. It's ugly and uncomfortable, this story of a man in a ghastly situation, having his house taken away by people he had tried to help, and then getting caught up in that Kafkaesque nightmare world of bureaucracy and red tape. It is all too explicable that such a man would find himself in the company of others on the outside looking in.

I felt the movie kind of stumbled in the final act, though. The movie turns into a home invasion type flick, where the bad guys even wear animal masks, proving that the filmmakers have obviously been studying "You're Next". This material is too familiar to be the climax we had been waiting for, but the movie was still pretty good.

I say check it out.

This movie wasn't what I expected from synopsis. Whilst it's not fantastic and gets annoying in 2 parts it is worth watching. There's very little nudity shown, but it does get violent towards the end

If you have any common sense or study law, the film is going to frustrate you from the start at its inaccurate representation of the law. Then, the film will anger you some more at how annoying and stupid all the characters are. But hey maybe its scary? No, 75% of the film is random family drama that we don't care about. Then the finale which is supposed to be oh so shocking and scary really isn't. Waste of time, don't bother watching. Boring, most trash film I've ever seen in my entire life.

I must say it was not what I expected.

I was thinking of seeing a film about a man ready to do anything to get his house back, I was thinking of seeing an anthology of violence throughout the film, but no, this film is only violent in the treatment suffered by the main character, who is a cuck of high level.

But does that make it a bad movie? No, I would even say it's quite interesting to see, a cuck who wants to become a man through violence, but can't, he knows deep down that he will never have this animosity , this violence, this virility that he envies in others, took pity on this man who is a weak intellectual in a world of brutes, with his only defense being his brain matrixed by soy man values.

However, the few scenes of violence in the film are quite enjoyable and I would have liked to see more, unfortunately most of the film is quite calm as I said, the violence is mainly present in the psychology of the character.

Dont waste your time... The worst movie ever, just terrible! Does not make any sense. It is impossible to be based on real facts, totally BS.

Not the best movie, but not the worst either.

Yes, story is real as sad it could be- I know cases where in spain sqaters took houses and it took years of legal battles to take them back. It's absolutely ridiculous laws in favour of sqaters.

I think nowadays the french movies are better for very stong movies who make you down after watching it les miserables black and now this furie are really disturbing movies it looks like straw dogs but more violent and more disturbing i give a 10 to this incredible movie

Furie (or Get In for the English title) is a French movie based on true events, that's how it started. I doubt the story really happened like that, otherwise I'm sure I would have heard of it. Let just say loosely based, that seems more correct. Squatters are a big problem in some countries, like France or the USA. I live in Spain where they call them occupas and it's very difficult to get them out. The story is about that problem so it might make some people angry. It sure made me angry to see the incompetence of the justice departments. Director Olivier Abbou did a good job bringing this story. Writer Aurèlien Molas, I'm sure had enough examples everywhere to come up with a good revenge story, but like said before I'm sure this didn't happened exactly like this in real life, although I would be happy seeing squatters getting what they deserve while stealing from honest people without being harassed or imprisoned by the law. Decent acting from the entire cast, some bloody violent scenes towards the end, but the ending could have been better as you have questions unanswered.

I hated this film. It just goes from A to B without any surprise or detour, on a road much better walked by other filmmakers. The film's premise is absurd, gratuitous, the "bad boys" are a travesty, and what the merde was that gross, needless, ridiculous scene in the end? Was that a way of showing us he was tough now? What is this, a porn Leslie Nielsen film? No, this movie doesn't know what is wants and leaves you disappointed, cheated, and swearing you'll never watch a film starring that boring and bored main actor again.

Been waiting for the 18 Rating to unfold. It didn't. At least for me. This was way too boring. Too,. There are much better 18+ flics to be found, even with Prime.
