Formula but fun.

Well told, if not altogether plausible, Unlawful Entry should give thriller-lovers a pleasant jolt of anxiety.

| Dec 14, 2023

Easily among the best in its ’90s-stalker subgenre, "Unlawful Entry" finds a way to give people exactly what they want from such a thriller and a sense of understanding its players that they might not expect.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 30, 2022

This may only be a movie, but the potential for realism - for these scenarios of unrelenting torment to be exploited in real life - is absolutely staggering.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 25, 2020

Unlawful Entry has all the hallmarks of a down and dirty thriller. Implausibly gullible, Stowe's character is just a slow-witted object of desire.

Unlawful Entry does a tremendous job provoking the viewer with crude elements of bullying.

| Original Score: B | Jun 25, 2012

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2008

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.

| Apr 9, 2008

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 | Apr 9, 2008

A paint-by-numbers suspense thriller redeemed by stylish, economic direction and a marvelous performance by Ray Liotta as a psycho L.A. cop.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2008

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.

| Apr 9, 2008

It's an amazingly sharp, nasty little thriller that takes a silly situation and squeezes it to the core, vicious as a heart attack.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2007

Solid performances lend weight to the flakier elements, with Liotta turning crazed excess into something wild.

| Jun 24, 2006

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