Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldA wonderfully nasty turn from Liotta, along with a novel treatment of familiar plotlines, elevates Kaplan's effort into the 'must see' category.
FulvueDrive-in.com - 8/10 by Chuck O'LearyThis well-done suspense-thriller is a variation of the Fatal Attraction theme with Ray Liotta as the cop from hell.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumAn efficient little thriller that imparts loads of queasiness and reasonable amounts of suspense while serving as an excellent corrective to the shameless celebrations of LA police power and brutality in Lethal Weapon 3.
Tampa Bay Times - 8/10 by Hal LipperSolid performances lend weight to the flakier elements, with Liotta turning crazed excess into something wild.
Variety - 8/10 by Todd McCarthyAlthough it exists primarily to send an audience into a bloodthirsty frenzy and has major credibility problems in the bargain, "Unlawful Entry" is still a very effective victimization thriller. Strongly following the "Fatal Attraction" pattern--to the point of having a very similar climax--well-crafted concoction trades in the sorts of elemental concerns and fears that get people mightily worked up. This, combined with controversy pic may engender based on its prominent plot element of excessive police violence, gives it the potential to become a summer sleeper hit.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Jo BerryA wonderfully nasty turn from Liotta, along with a novel treatment of familiar plotlines, elevates Kaplan's effort into the 'must see' category.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe movie is a thriller, with all the usual trappings of a thriller, but the director, Jonathan Kaplan, is able to place the story in a plausible world. The performances go for unstrained realism, the settings are slice-of-life, and until the final scenes even the sicko cop seems somewhere within the realm of possibility.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Joe Brown"Entry" is acted more intelligently than is usual in this type of cookie-cutter shocker. Stowe is luminously lovely and vulnerable, making her an ideal psycho-magnet; likably low-key Russell is the very model of a modern strong-but-sensitive hubby; and Liotta outdoes even his own previous best efforts at the nice-guy nut case.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kenneth TuranA cut above the average thriller. For one thing, it's put together with enough professionalism to make you almost (but not quite) forget the implausibilities that films like this are inevitably prone to. And for another, its concern with cops getting out of line seems hardly far-fetched after what the world saw happening to Rodney G. King.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Kathleen MaherOddly enough, Unlawful Entry can keep you from sleeping but when you wake up the next moring, it's hard to remember much about the movie.
