    Time to watch Unlawful Entry, starring Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta, and Madeleine Stowe. I expect this movie to live up to it's title and have many entrances that are of dubious legality. #filmsky

    I wrote for @imprintfilms.bsky.social about how a fan filmed the making of TERMINATOR 2 and inadvertently caught the Rodney King beating on tape which led to the LAPD on trial which led to the LA riots which led to the most shockingly ACAB studio film of that year, UNLAWFUL ENTRY.

    Quality 90s evil cop film (nicely paired with Liotta's stalker cop in UNLAWFUL ENTRY 2 years later). Gere should have played more villains.

    Seyfried is a little overcranked but overall still a ton of fun to watch, which is 90% of what you need in a film like this. A tier below Fatal Attraction and SWF, around where Unlawful Entry and Hand that Rocks the Cradle are. That's good company. Feig desperately needs to do another comedy soon.

    YES Recently we watched Unlawful Entry - a very mediocre movie from 1992. But oh my god they did not hold back on lighting and cinematography even for such a simple script. Compared to modern day - I have to wear night vision googles to see at least something on the screen!

    THOSE two for sure. Also, Escape from New York, Tombstone, Captain Ron, Backdraft, and the Christmas Chronicles. (I have trouble ranking.) Unlawful Entry, Stargate (he was sad!), Deepwater Horizon, Soldier, Breakdown, and his "I'm not kid any longer, damn it" movie, The Deadly Tower. Kurt rules.

    Perhaps the best "villainous first responder" psychological thriller ever made, "Unlawful Entry" boasts a great James Horner score and lead performances by Kurt Russell and Ray Liotta. My ★★★★ review of "Unlawful Entry" (1992) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/ezuyn1

    I don't want to ever see a poster or a frame of this film again, because it's bad (and also has a r*pe attempt). Unlawful Entry (1992). Kurt Russell is a poor man's Richard Chamberlain and Lewis Colick's script is one of the worst I've ever seen adapted. Not even Madeleine Stowe's presence saves it.
