Michael and Karen Carr are the couple with everything: good looks, a happy marriage and a gorgeous house in an upscale section of Los Angeles. This all changes the night their home is broken into and the wife terrorized at knifepoint by the burgler. Officer Pete Davis, the comforting, supportive policeman who arrives at the scene of the crime, seems like a God-send -- until he starts worming his way into the couple's life in an increasingly inappropriate and disturbing manner.

Although 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.

Neither Lewis Colick's script nor Jonathan Kaplan's direction is quite as streamlined as it could be, but you certainly get a run for your money.

More gripping than it is convincing.

Entry is acted more intelligently than is usual in this type of cookie-cutter shocker.

The plot is as tediously redundant as director Jonathan Kaplan's approach is carefully workmanlike.

The 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.
