A couple are rudely awakened in the middle of the night by an intruder. The next day two police officers come to check on them and file a complaint. One of them- played slyly by an in-form Ray Liotta develops a fixation on the wife. This fixation leads to everything from stalking to murder and death. Unlawful Entry is a decent early 90s psychological thriller starring Kurt Russell and Madeline Stowe as the bothered couple with the aforementioned Ray Liotta playing the perfect sociopathic creep that makes life hell for them. For Liotta's fine turn this movie is a recommendation.

After a break-in at their house, a couple gets help from one of the cops that answered their call. He helps them install the security system, and begins dropping by on short notice and unofficial patrol, and spends a lot of time discussing the couple's problems with the wife. The husband begins wondering if they're getting too much help. Unlawful Entry benefits from Ray Liotta's, Kurt Russell's and Madeline Stowe's perfomances but for those who might expect a little bit more? It's kind of a disappointing and watchable messy thriller because the film i think could have been better if Liotta didn't started turning crazy but whatever still watchable 90's film. (6/10)

Unlawful Entry is a tense, uncomfortable home invasion thriller where the intruder is the one person who should protect you from that sort of thing: a police officer. It's a perfect concept for a thriller and here its executed to spine tingling effect, through great performances and an intimately hair raising atmosphere. Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe play a well to do yuppie couple whose house is broken into by a petty thief one night. The officer who answers their call the next day (Ray Liotta) is friendly, helpful and goes out of his way to ensure that a security system is installed and that they feel safe. His kindness takes a creepy turn though, when he sets his sights on beautiful Stowe, Russell's wife. He gets scarier and scarier, eventually becoming totally unhinged and zoning right in on her with volatile lust and unhealthy sociopathic obsession that tears all three lives apart. Liotta is scary good, and his eerie transformation from likable upstanding guy to violent stalker madman is something from a nightmare. Some scenes are downright nasty to keep your eyes on, and you really feel sick watching Stowe get exposed to this cruelty. She's darkly radiant as always though, and Russell shows fear and fury in an awesome role that isn't an easy one to play. Domestic thrillers are a dime a dozen, and often can descend into seedy melodrama, but this one takes the high road and uses genuine skill and well orchestrated tension to glue us in our seats.
