After her father Isaac's murder, Shaun Russell travels to the house she grew up in with her two children, daughter Jasmine and son Glover. Shaun intends to settle her father's estate and sell the remotely-located house, which has multiple security features, including a hand-held remote monitor. The security system is off-line at their arrival, but is soon reactivated by Jasmine. Unknown to the family, four criminals - Peter, Sam, Duncan, and their leader Eddie - are already in the house. Jasmine and Glover are taken hostage while Shaun is outside. Peter chases Shaun into the woods, where she manages to knock him unconscious. She leaves him bound and gagged, and uses the intercom to call the house. Eddie tells her they only came for the safe and the $4 million they believe is inside; Isaac was under investigation and Sam had learned that he liquidated his assets. The crew has only 90 minutes from when they cut the phone line before the security company will contact police, so they want to find it and leave quickly. Concealed in the trees, Shaun sees Maggie, the Realtor, arrive with paperwork for the house sale. Eddie greets her at the door, explaining Shaun had gone into town briefly, and invites her in. Maggie notices Shaun's purse on the table behind Eddie and declines. As Maggie is leaving, Duncan attacks and slits her throat, which upsets Eddie, as it means Shaun won't be as controllable..
Leave your thoughts about Breaking In.
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannThe film does have a very smart hero in Gabrielle Union, who makes refreshing choices...besides that, this is a throwaway, disposable thriller. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonThe film features one great casting decision and is mercifully only 88 minutes long. Beyond that, I've got nothing. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe film’s sense of time lacks precision and urgency, and just having characters periodically point out that the clock is ticking doesn’t cut it. |
| Dayton CityPapertt stern-enziUnion proves that she's a fighter and a survivor above all else, and that she can look damned good while doing it. She can save the motherly stuff for another time. |
| Black Girl NerdsJonita DavisGabrielle Union plays a mother named Shaun in a role that finally allows the actress to attack all the Black women stereotypes that have suffocated almost every role she's taken since 1993. |
| Boston HeraldStephen Schaefer[Gabrielle] Union never succumbs to campy theatrics. She's one cool mother doing what she has to do, which is taking care of business and cleaning house. |
| Scene CreekChelsea Phillips-CarrMixing and subverting narrative tropes -- Breaking In is tense and thrilling, creating a good deal of suspense as well as gratification. |
| SensacineCarlos LosillaMcTeigue doesn't deepen the story as much as is wanted, but, somehow, from the brutality of the prologue, is able to convey all necessary motivations in and out of action. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| GeekBob ChipmanIf it wasn't for a studio marketing department thinking maybe it could be pushed as Mother's Day programming, it feels like something that would've gone straight to Redbox. |
| Geeks of ColorFerdosa AbdiAll-in-all, it's a satisfying thriller that will leave you wanting to hit the gym and learn a few self-defense moves of your own. |
