The Suspense used in the movie is a good technique because it keeps the audience and viewers hooked and at the edge of their seats, in this case, my seat.
There was a very clear lifestyle point of view presented in this movie. I think that Paul Higgins made the movie specificaly like this with different racial standings and all because he wanted to point out in our society that our world needs to get over all of its problems and just be joined as one. Showing the black people and the cops when the caucasian cop searches the girl, it shows distinct racism. Also when Sandra Bullock and her husband are walking and she moves closer to her husband when walking past Ludacris and his friend shows that she isn't comfortable and there is obvious racial slur. Also the car jacking shows a very typical stereotype thought of blacks.
The message being sent by the director is that our world has too many concerns over little things. Like racism which is clearly shown in this movie, the director is pointing out that it is still a problem in our society and that we should change our way of thinking and such. It also says that we should love each other because our world is full of hate.
In the movie, spiritually, the message being sent out is that people in our society are very unloving of each other and in the Bible it says that we should treat others as we wish to be treated. And the message is clearly disrupted in the movie. Also I think that God can be portrayed as the locksmith's daughter who in the end ran out with her dad's protective "invisible cloak" to save him without even thinking of what could happen. This is very much like God who in the end saved us without considering anything, He just saved us because He loved us so much. And the little girl saved her dad because of her love.
