 4/5 |
A wonderfully nasty turn from Liotta, along with a novel treatment of familiar plotlines, elevates Kaplan's effort into the 'must see' category. Full Review |

Gordon lacks Scorsese's talent for unsettling his audience, but he can turn up the tension until you squirm in your seat or want to shout at the screen. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
A paint-by-numbers suspense thriller redeemed by stylish, economic direction and a marvelous performance by Ray Liotta as a psycho L.A. cop. Full Review |

|
|
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. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
It's an amazingly sharp, nasty little thriller that takes a silly situation and squeezes it to the core, vicious as a heart attack. Full Review |
||
|
|
Solid performances lend weight to the flakier elements, with Liotta turning crazed excess into something wild. Full Review |

|
7/10 |
This well-done suspense-thriller is a variation of the Fatal Attraction theme with Ray Liotta as the cop from hell.

A competent thriller, not much more.

2/5 |
Below average thriller. The power of a cop is scary, but most of the plot points are standard thriller moments, right down to the scary cat.

More gripping than it is convincing. Full Review |

Kurt Russell gives new meaning to the term action hero. A real white-knuckler.
