Unlawful Entry
Short description
Michael and Karen Carr are a well-off Los Angeles couple whose comfortable life is shaken when an intruder breaks into their home. The responding police officer, Pete Davis, seems helpful and reassuring, and the Carrs welcome him into their lives. His attention soon becomes an unsettling fixation on Karen, and what began as friendly concern turns into a campaign of harassment and intimidation that the couple cannot escape.
Jonathan Kaplan directed the film, which sits between The Accused and Love Field in the run of features he made from 1972 onward. Lewis Colick wrote the screenplay, and Charles Gordon and Joseph Newton Cohen produced it. Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe play Michael and Karen, with Ray Liotta as Pete Davis, Roger E. Mosley as his fellow officer Roy Cole, and Ken Lerner and Deborah Offner in supporting roles. The production, a 20th Century Fox release made with Japanese partners, cost about 23 million dollars and took roughly 57 million dollars worldwide.
Audience responses were moderate and closely aligned: the film holds a rating of 6.4 from over 18,500 votes on IMDb and 6.3 from a few hundred votes on TMDB, while the critics' rating stands at 6.3 from 37 reviews.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the love scene, stand-ins were used instead of Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe.
- According to the inscription on the side of the car, the police department's motto is "To Serve and Protect," and it was founded in 1781. In reality, however, the motto is "To Protect and Serve," and the department was founded between 1853 and 1869.
- At the 10-minute mark of the film, there are errors in the lettering on the police car door: In reality, the Los Angeles Police Department's motto is 'To Protect and to Serve' instead of 'To serve and to protect'. The founding year of the department is also incorrect; the Los Angeles Police Department was actually established in 1869, not 1781.
