Movie Reviews of Unlawful Entry
Movie Review: Technically great thriller, but predictable
Summary: 3 Stars
Unlawful Entry is a well-executed and tense thriller. It's well acted and crafted to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.
Unfortunately, the plot is predictable. In fact, the supposed dead bad guy suddenly attacking when the hero or heroine turns away has become a tired clich?. Unlawful Entry doesn't even try for surprise, but broadcasts the assault so it fails to shock. (To my knowledge, this surprise attack after the villain has supposedly been vanquished was first used in Wait Until Dark. If not the first time, then this film definitely used this plot device to great affect.)
This is a good film, but if you're considering buying it, I recommend the Kurt Russell "Thriller Double Feature." Much better deal and both films belong in a home library.
Summary of Unlawful Entry
Jonathan Kaplan (The Accused) directed this creepy thriller about an outwardly friendly cop (Ray Liotta) who attaches himself to a married couple (Kurt Russell, Madeleine Stowe) whom he helps during a crisis. In short order, he's revealed to be a psychopath who wants Russell's wife, but the film is about more than Liotta's mental state. A bold script and Kaplan's astute direction peel away the layers of masculine identity in the male leads and underscore the painful conflicts good men feel when faced with classic territorial challenges. This is not as profound as Straw Dogs, but it is honest and provocative, until mayhem overcomes the final act. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure DVD Video
