Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 Keogh

theres greatness and nuttyness and sexiness to this movie. great performances by the leads,especially Russell and Liotta, man they bash heads in this one and Liotta is surprisingly scary. and Stowe barring in that one scene when Liotta walks in on this is great

This review is from: Unlawful Entry (Widescreen) (DVD)

This movie has all the right elements, and creates one entertaining and suspenseful movie! Ray Liotta was just remarkable in this movie, and those interesting eyes of his makes you think you are looking into the pools of insanity! The movie is so suspenseful, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the conclusion... which didn't let me down for a second. This is one excellent movie, and I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars a high tension thriller, Oct 26 2002

By

chris brennan (new zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unlawful Entry (VHS Tape)

1992's Unlawful Entry is simply brilliant.The three main characters here are developed very well,with Kurt Russell putting in a rock solid performance.Madeline Stowe was perhaps not the best choice here for the pursued wife,she wallows a bit in the demands of her role,but Ray Liotta simply shines as the unbalanced police officer.
The movie relies heavily on dialogue to create the tension but never feels overdone and there are enough action scenes to dissipate any labouring moments.
The storyline is wholly believable,things like this probably happen every day somewhere in the world,but it still holds it's own as pure escapism.The premise is simple enough;a couple meet a seemingly nice police officer after a break in and they become friends.But the officer is not all he seems.
Underneath it all it is the classic tale of mens territorial pre-disposition,and it could have been told in a chauvanistic and gratuitous way,but thankfully this thriller has an almost sentimental feel to it.I highly recommend this movie,which,although it is now ten years old,still ranks up there with the likes of Breakdown,Panic Room and Single White Female.

This is a very suspenseful film that is probably Kurt Russell's best & most believeable performances, the film begins with Russell as a self-employed business man who it seems... Read more
