Unlawful Entry becomes a passable film and not a bad one courtesy one performance- Ray Liotta. Kurt Russell and Madeline Stowe play a married couple living in an Upscale flat in LA when one night they are awakened by a break in. Two cops come to their assistance and one of them- Liotta befriends the couple even taking Russell out for a night out. He helps them with proofing the house but as it turns out he is a psychopath with an unhealthy obsession for Stowe's character. Liotta is suitably creepy and carries the film on his shoulders. Russell and Stowe are adequate and aren't allowed to do much except go with the proceedings. A good one time watch.

I miss movies like this, way more simpler but you can tell the quality that went on it. Specially in the acting Kurt Russell, Madeleine Stowe and specially Ray Liota he is the one that's stands out as an obsessive psychopath, he nails it perfectly as he is a shallow charming guy but deep inside he is demented. What gets me in this movie than the films today of the same genre is the attention to detail, how they explore the characters making them feel authentic and true to their nature. Even if it feels "old" I highly recommend it. It's a movie for any day a Wednesday night or a Sunday afternoon.

A sterling entry in the psycho-thriller genre, mainly thanks to Ray Liotta's performance as the manic cop. Rarely has Liotta been this good: he literally simmers with pent-up rage whenever you see him on-screen, delivering one of the best turns of his career as the frightening cop from hell. Sure, Liotta could be good elsewhere – who can forget his career-changing turn in Scorsese's GOODFELLAS? – but he'll be forever remembered for the kind of sweaty, crazy-eyed role he effortlessly portrays here.Liotta's given solid support from Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe as the unwitting couple who find themselves caught up in a nightmare. This is the archetypal 'slow burner' of a plot, with everyday events and subtle hints and clues gradually building from an impressive climax, which makes use of plenty of clichés but nevertheless ticks all the right boxes. UNLAWFUL ENTRY is one of those thrillers that doesn't disappoint, and unlike PACIFIC HEIGHTS it isn't spoilt with dated attempts at style. Thumbs up.

I saw this film by chance when it was on TV late one night I couldn't sleep. The film centres around a couple who have their home broken into and the policeman who responds to the scene and how he becomes obsessed with their lives.In all honesty, I didn't have high hopes for it, but in actual fact, it was hugely entertaining. It was never going to be an Oscar winner, but it was clever, original and the acting was good too. The film has a nice pace to it and the story flows reasonably well in that the film is neither too long nor too short. I perhaps wouldn't call it a classic but it is certainly a good film, and a little known and under-appreciated one at that. Kurt Russel, as usual does a good turn and the best part of the film is that you truly connect with how Russel's character feels. It's the sort of film that'll have you on edge and almost screaming at the TV. Watch and enjoy!
