 | 1992... that was a year full of detective heroes. Batman Returns, Basic Instinct, Passenger 57, Patriot Games, and Under Siege... all hold their perfection! What makes Unlawful Entry better than all of these movies above? Its cop detective, the one hero that you would trust as a friend... is about to become your closest enemy.
Ray Liotta... every actor has to attempt to be a bad guy at least once, and if Liotta wasn't bad enough in his other movies... watch him now. What can I say that people don't know about Liotta already. Well, he was an excellent ex-boyfriend ex-con in the movie, Something Wild(Jeff Daniels). Unlawful Entry I'd say was his second best movie, right behind the masterpiece Goodfellas(Robert De Niro).
Kurt Russell... another movie to his long trend line of hits. Russell has done it all, he's did horror(The Thing), comedy(Used Cars, Overboard), action(Executive Decision), drama(Backdraft,Breakdown)... and all of his talent shows in Unlawful Entry, as the protective loving husband. I can't wait to see him in the Poseidon Adventure remake next year.
Madeleine Stowe... she definitely has sex appeal, and beauty going on in this film. You get a good look at her in other movies like Stakeout(Richard Dreyfuss), and The General's Daughter(John Travolta). I don't blame Ray Liotta going crazy for her, playing the attractive wife to Kurt Russell.
If you really want to see something scary, what a cop can do without a care in the world. If you want to be taught a lesson of what it could be like after bringing that new best friend into your life. Watch Unlawful Entry... you get police brutality, you get a nail biter, and a very rare excellent thriller. Unlawful Entry is one thriller, that'll forever go down as a classic in my books! |

| This movie is about a couple who suffers a dramatic breakin by a typical thief and when they call the police, right away one of the police officers of the two, seems a little too nice and too good to be true. He offers advice and offers the couple (kurt russell and madeline stowe) a top of the line security company for installation for their house. This cop (Liotta) soon becomes even more obsessed with Mrs. Carr (Stowe) and just can't help but show his interest in her. He catches the thief (who broke into their house and put a knife to her throat before bolting,) and Liotta displays a rodney king type brutality to impress Mr. Carr, and basically gives him permission to beat him up. After seeing the look in liotta's eyes after assaulting the thief, he doesn't want anything to do with him. Of course he realizes how hard it is to get rid of him. He starts stalking the couple, first harassment then ripping off their credit cards, messing with computers at the PD so that Mr. Carr is forced to pay unpaid phony parking tickets, and messing up Mr. Carr's business connections. It's an intense thriller about a loose cannon sociopathic cop who ends up going way too far with his obsession and fantasies about a life with a beautiful married woman he will never have. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
