Home invasion thriller ‘Breaking In’ calls upon Gabrielle Union’s strength
“Breaking In” is an effective home invasion thriller, with Gabrielle Union trying to protect her kids from four highly dangerous maniacs, at least two of whom (maybe three, and possibly four) are either murderers or willing to add murder to their anti-social repertoire.
It’s an easy movie to disrespect, an 88-minute mini nervous breakdown that audiences, once recovered, will start mocking long before they even make it to their car. Yet even as they’re laughing at “Breaking In,” they may find themselves walking to that car a bit faster than usual and looking around to see if anyone else is there. Yes, there’s no higher purpose behind the movie, just an ambition to make you enjoy being uneasy.
