Editorial Review:

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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Pushed To Limit Kurt Russell and Creepy Ray Liotta!
This is a great suspense-thiller with key actors doing what they do best. Kurt Russel and Madeline Stowe draw you in as a regular couple in suburbia whos fortune turns toward the very desparate. After a terrifying encounter with a robber, Ray Liotta plays a cop who seems to be comming to the rescue. Later we find that he's very unstable, obsessed with the wife and will stop at nothing to get Kurt out of the picture. Ray acts and is painted in a way that will make your skin crawl as he backs Kurt ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Technically great thriller, but predictable
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 cliché. 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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Surprise, surprise. This is a great suspense thriller
WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

For those of you who like suspense thrillers, this movie is for you. It's about a disturbed cop who has a romantic interest in a break-in victim's wife. The setting in the beginning of the movie is in the suburbs of L.A. Michael Carr (Kurt Russell) and his wife Karen (Madeleine Stowe) experience a break-in in the middle of the night. The would-be robber is discovered by Michael and holds Karen hostage for a brief time before making his escape. The couple ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PSYCHO COP!
Unlawful Entry is an awesome suspense flick about a psycho cop who turns things upside down for an honest, innocent hardworking couple in L.A. after one innocent telephone call to the police after being burglarized by a sadistic crack-head.

This was probably a movie showing Ray Liotta at his best acting ability, since Ray Liotta plays Los Angeles police Officer Pete Davis who starts out righteous, loyal, and professional like any other typical police officer until Kurt Russell(Michael ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another overlooked masterpiece.
Another movie that brings back good theater memories.
An outstanding cast.
Russell plays the best part.
His wife is being stalked by Mr. psycho cop.(Liotta)
Russell's character evolves from Mr. Nice guy to protective hubby with an attitude.
Stowe is pretty good, she could have used some good fighting techniques to use in the movie.
Sorry I just love the Linda Hamilton (Terminator) kind of women. Beautiful.............and BAD!!!!!!!!!
Stowe wasn't "BAD" enough ... Read More
