Unlawful Entry

Rating:
Summary: a high tension thriller
Review: 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.

Summary: A great and suspenful thriller
Review: I love this movie. It has action, drama and suspense. A real nail biter to say the least. However the main reason to see this film is because of Ray Liotta. The man is fantastic in his role as a cop turned psychotic. He is a brilliant actor and although Kurt Russell is just O.K. Madeline Stowe adds beauty and sex appeal to the movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I suggest that you do and see for yourself how wonderful Ray Liotta is in this role. A great actor who is highly underrated.

Summary: Police Brutality
Review: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy? What do you do when the one who's supposed to protect you turns into a raging psychopath? That's the question presented in this thriller where Kurt Russell and Madeline Stowe play a married couple stalked by a police officer (Ray Liotta).

A burglar breaks into their house one night, and they call the cops. Two helpful policemen show up and offer advice about a security system, which is then installed, but one cop doesn't seem to know when to quit. And he seems to be a little too fixated on the wife's, um...safety.

This is one of those thrillers where the seemingly normal newcomer turns out to be seriously disturbed. It worked before in 'Single White Female' and 'Fatal Attraction', and it works here as well. Ray Liotta is effectively creepy as the stalking cop, who's nice one second and deadly the next. One of the creepiest and oddly unsettling scenes is when Liotta catches the burglar, and holds him for Russell to beat the crap out of him. When he refuses, Liotta does it himself, then makes up a story about how the burglar was resisting arrest. Madeline Stowe is perfect and utterly gorgeous as the cop's obsession, and Kurt Russell plays his everyman character very well. Worth a watch for suspense fans.

Review: 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

Rating:
Summary: Very average but Liotta is convincing
Review: this film for the most part has pretty typical COp CLiche Hollywood stories.Kurt Russell is just not Convincing at all.MadeLeine Stowe really doesn't add anything aside from her beauty.but Ray Liotta despite being Scum through out this film is the only reasong to watch it.

Summary: Don't call th police!!!!!!
Review: 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 works out of his home putting deals together, Madelyn Stowe is perfect as Russell's wife, & they live a pretty normal life in the L.A. suburbs, then a theif breaks in & holds Stowe hostage with a knife after Russell has a confrontation with him, the man escapes & Russell & Stowe do what any couple would do, call the police & report the incident, Ray Liotta(fresh off GOODFELLAS) is seen here a one of two cops who show up to take the report, it is clear that he is smitten with Stowe & soon befreinds them, at one point him & Russell become close in that Liotta surprises Russell by catching the man who broke into the home, Russell, still angry about the incident is given a chance for payback courtesy of Liotta, but refuses when Liotta gives him the go-ahead for beating the guy, Liotta instead does the deed & Russell senses that Liotta is not all there & decides to cut all ties with him, this is where the worst in Liotta comes out, we discover that he is a loose cannon that even his partner knows but does little to intervine, until Liotta threatens Russell, Liotta messes with Russell in many ways, such as messing with his credit cards, his business deals, & even at one point intruding on him & Stowe as they have sex, he even sets Russell up for a drug bust as a way to get to Stowe, soon Russell is making bail & it is a race against time as he must save his wife from Liotta who at this point is obsessingly deranged, (...)Liotta performance is chilling & one of his best so far.
