Breaking In (2018)
6/10
Quite enjoyable...
7 June 2019
I sat down to watch the 2018 movie "Breaking In" without knowing anything about it. I was given the chance to watch it, and given my love for movies, of course I said yes.

Turned out that director James McTeigue actually turned out a rather enjoyable film from writers Ryan Engle and Jaime Primak Sullivan. I must admit that I was thoroughly entertained throughout the course of the entire movie, and there wasn't really a dull moment.

The movie starts out nice and quickly takes a turn for a more dreadful incident for the characters in the movie. But for the audience, there is a nice continuous flow to the movie and director James McTeigue really did a phenomenal job at keeping the story flowing and the audience at the edge of their seats.

There was a very classic thriller build-up and execution to the movie, which made me reminisce some movies like "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". I enjoyed the fact that director James McTeigue managed to make a movie that had such a classic feel to it.

Now, I can't claim to be familiar with Gabrielle Union, but she really performed well in the movie, and she carried the movie and herself quite formidable. Alongside her was Billy Burke as the villain, and he was so well-cast for that role. He always add something unique to the movies that he is in. Nor can I really claim to be familiar with Richard Cabral, but wow was he intense in this movie, despite playing such a despicable character. I was really impressed with his performance in "Breaking In".

This was definitely an enjoyable movie for me, and I am glad that I took the time to watch it, and I can warmly recommend that you sit down and watch it, especially if you enjoy a good old fashioned thriller, filled with atmosphere and suspense.
