The stage curtains open ...
I was wondering what my next "boo worthy" movie was going to be, and I honestly didn't expect this to be it. What started out as mildly interesting and cookie cutter, turned out to be laughable and preposterous. Yeah, it was pretty bad.
When Shaun (Gabrielle Union) and her two kids head out to her recently deceased father's house to get it prepared for her real estate agent to sell, little did she know the harrowing events they would have to endure at the hands of four very determined burglars who break in. Shaun is battling her own demons upon returning to a house she felt trapped in as a child growing up, but when her own two kids are held hostage by money lusting thugs, she does everything in her power to get back inside the house to save them.
Okay ... so first off - how in the world is this movie not Rated R? I've never heard so many F-bombs dropped in a film, not to mention all the other expletives! This was not a PG-13 movie - definitely not appropriate for teenagers. The MPAA dropped the ball on this one. The acting was terrible. The situations nowhere near plausible. The timeline is skewed. And the film culminates with Gabrielle Union sneaking around on the rooftop, fighting with the bad guys and confronting them at the end like Whoopi Goldberg on steroids. I actually laughed in parts (ie - the thieves don't know where the safe is, but they know exactly where the breaker box is...LOL). This was just awful. Maybe, the worst home invasion movie I've ever seen.
This is not a recommend. In fact, if I recommend anything to do with "Breaking In", it would be to pass. There are so many other movies, even bad ones, that merit your attention more than this piece of junk.
