Film Perfection

A different way of telling a story

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

After a break-in at their house, a couple gets help from one of the cops that answered their call. He helps them install the security system, and begins dropping by on short notice and unofficial patrol, and spends a lot of time discussing the couple's problems with the wife. The husband begins wondering if they're getting too much help. Unlawful Entry benefits from Ray Liotta's, Kurt Russell's and Madeline Stowe's perfomances but for those who might expect a little bit more? It's kind of a disappointing and watchable messy thriller because the film i think could have been better if Liotta didn't started turning crazy but whatever still watchable 90's film. (6/10)

Michael (Kurt Russell) and Karen Carr (Madeleine Stowe) live in a Californian suburb. An intruder gets into the house and holds Karen at knife point temporarily before escaping. Officers Pete Davis (Ray Liotta) and Roy Cole (Roger E. Mosley) arrive to check on the incident. Pete is obsessed with Karen as his volatile character becomes increasingly destructive.This is one of those psychological thrillers where the madness can be seen from miles away and the movie plows directly into it refusing to stop until the last frame of film. Ray Liotta always has that great dangerous madness just beneath the surface. Kurt Russell does a perfectly good everyman and Madeleine Stowe is a solid victim. This is a simple thriller with desperate intensity.

Unlawful Entry is a tense, uncomfortable home invasion thriller where the intruder is the one person who should protect you from that sort of thing: a police officer. It's a perfect concept for a thriller and here its executed to spine tingling effect, through great performances and an intimately hair raising atmosphere. Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe play a well to do yuppie couple whose house is broken into by a petty thief one night. The officer who answers their call the next day (Ray Liotta) is friendly, helpful and goes out of his way to ensure that a security system is installed and that they feel safe. His kindness takes a creepy turn though, when he sets his sights on beautiful Stowe, Russell's wife. He gets scarier and scarier, eventually becoming totally unhinged and zoning right in on her with volatile lust and unhealthy sociopathic obsession that tears all three lives apart. Liotta is scary good, and his eerie transformation from likable upstanding guy to violent stalker madman is something from a nightmare. Some scenes are downright nasty to keep your eyes on, and you really feel sick watching Stowe get exposed to this cruelty. She's darkly radiant as always though, and Russell shows fear and fury in an awesome role that isn't an easy one to play. Domestic thrillers are a dime a dozen, and often can descend into seedy melodrama, but this one takes the high road and uses genuine skill and well orchestrated tension to glue us in our seats.

Unlawful Entry is a solid 90's thriller that is beautifully shot, has tight direction and excellent performances from the cast. Kurt Russell and Madeline Stowe are an upper class couple and victims of a home invasion. They call the police and end up befriending policeman Ray Liotta. Kurt ends up going on a ride along with Ray and his partner. He then realizes Ray is a bit crazy and makes an effort to distance himself and his wife from him. This is a no go as Liotta is also obsessed with Kurt's wife and I can hardly blame him as Madeline Stowe is stunning. Kurt's character is pretty far removed from the tough, action movie characters he is used to playing. He shows great range here and gives a convincing performance as a yuppie everyman. Ray Liotta is great here as a psycho cop looking for love in all the wrong places. He frequently abuses his power throughout the course of the film and events then escalate to a violent climax. Madeline Stowe give an excellent performance as well and shows vulnerability with her character. Unlawful Entry is a great thriller and one I really think was done well.
