122.0. "Unlawful Entry" by 12368::michaud (Jeff Michaud, DECnet/OSI) Wed Apr 07 1993 22:18

	This one stars Kurt Russel and Ray Liolita (sp?).  Kurt
	plays a business man who's house gets broken into (and
	the intruder holds his wife at knife point), and Ray
	plays an obsessive cop.

	Lots of suspense, and only mildly predictable (the ending was
	VERY predictable however :-).  Just keep your mind in
	"psycho flick" mode and you'll enjoy this film.

	I just saw this one. Kurt Russell, Madeleine Stowe and Ray Liotta in superb performances! What a psycho thriller! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! It was a definite feel-bad movie, in the way that Ray Liotta played the bad guy so intense and so convincing that you end up almost hating him personally - I think I'll have a hard time to forget this role in future films featuring this guy! The ending was, as mentioned, predictable. But nevertheless a nerve-breaking, breath-taking experience to watch this movie - mostly because of the class acting... Poul

I think he also played the bad guy in a movie with (I think) Melanie Griffith and Jeff Daniels where he was similarly intensely evil as her ex-boyfriend who wanted her back in a bad way. "Something Wild" maybe? I remember having a similar strong reaction to that character. Walker

	RE: Ray Liotta playing evil characters... There's a new movie (the name of which escapes me) about a housekeeper moving in with a family: father and daughter, the mother died recently. Whoopie Goldberg plays the housekeeper, who brings warmth and positive feelings back into the household. I've seen a couple of positive review on TV, but I haven't seen the movie. Anyway, getting back to the point: the father is Ray Liotta. When I heard that he had the role, my first thought was whether he could play a sympathetic character, or whether I could allow myself to be convinced of his portrayel, given the nasty roles he does so well. One reviewer said that Liotta was very effective as the father; that his performance downplayed the loss of his wife. I also saw Liotta on Leno the other night, and they dug out an embarrassing, sappy soap opera love scene he did years ago. -Steve
