Does she get to say: "You broke into the wrong house"? You bet she does.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2018

Union's Shaun Russell may not possess the superhuman powers of Wonder Woman, but she's a formidable adversary nonetheless, a fearsome warrior armed with a fierce maternal instinct serving as both a weapon and a shield.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 17, 2018

Too many unanswered questions and not enough character development.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 13, 2018

Just in time for Mother's Day comes a thrill-free, home-invasion thriller about a mom (Gabrielle Union) who'll stop at nothing to keep four bad guys from killing her two kids. Buy a ticket to this dull, dim-witted con job and you'll want to break out.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 12, 2018

Union is committed and convincing, but the script apparently never met a cliche it didn't want to adopt wholesale.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2018

The film does have a very smart hero in Gabrielle Union, who makes refreshing choices...besides that, this is a throwaway, disposable thriller.

| Original Score: D+ | May 12, 2018

There's very little about this one that's even moderately exciting.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 11, 2018

On principle alone, it's nice to see heroism portrayed in its most foundational sense - by way of a terrified and increasingly fed up mother just in time for Mother's Day this weekend. But we deserved something more than this.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 11, 2018

James McTeigue has a fleet, efficient visual style that keeps the suspense set pieces percolating.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 11, 2018

The bad guys in Breaking In make the Wet Bandits from Home Alone look like Ocean's 11.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 11, 2018

There is a familiarity to its characters and story, which doesn't do much at all in terms of reinventing the genre, but very much meets its own expectations.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 11, 2018

"Breaking In" is broken.

| Original Score: D | May 11, 2018

James McTeigue's Breaking In is the sort of incompetently constructed thriller that gives B movies a bad name.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 11, 2018

Without suspense, all the audience has to go on are the plot mechanics, which are no great shakes, and the characters, which are paper-thin.

| Original Score: C | May 11, 2018

Breaking In is derivative, banal and devoid of tension.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 11, 2018

Breaking In mirrors the incompetence of its crooks, in the sense that it doesn't feel like much thought went into plotting it out.

| May 10, 2018

For those seeking a few mindless thrills, unlike the bandits, you've come to the right place.

| May 10, 2018

Here's hoping there's an action thriller in the pipeline that makes better use of Union's talents.

| Original Score: C | May 10, 2018

Union certainly dedicates herself to all the huffing, running, jumping and emoting, though her efforts never counter Breaking In's aura of trashiness and disposability.

| May 10, 2018

By not making a whole movie worthy of what Union is throwing down, it features a breakout wrapped up in a break-in.

| Original Score: C- | May 10, 2018
