[.ca] Unlawful Entry (Widescreen)

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

russell's great, liottas nutty and stowe is sexy:
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

a high tension thriller:
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.

a creepy highly provocative thriller:
kurt russell and madeline stowe play a normal husband and wife when suddenly there house is broken into by a theif. so they call the police played by ray liotta and his partner. and as soon as madeline stowe comes down the stairs and ray liotta looks at her that way you can tell he has problems. so ray liotta starts following them around all over and wants the wife so he frames kurt russell and puts him in jail so that ray liotta can be with madeline stowe. but when kurt gets out it will be a showdown between him and ray. rated r for strong violence,language,sexuality and nudity.

Now this is a suspenseful thriller!!!:
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.

Don't call th police!!!!!!:
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.
