The movie was great! I would have liked to see more in the beginning as far as her relationship with her dad & how he got put in the situation he was in. Just something showing what led up to why he was targeted versus the actual guys telling why they broke in.

Its is the typical locked in one area movie. Union did really well, though very similar movie situations. Its worth seeing once but not twice. Opinion.

I gave this movie 2 stars because it just wasn't great to me. Gabby as always takes her roles seriously. Don't expect much of a back story and the action happens very quickly. Very predictable, no plot twists and the fighting scenes were ok. I would say though the story line showing what a mother would do for her children was very spot on... actually the more I think of it i gave it a 2 because it didn't have the wow factor. You know when a movie is good when everyone leaves the theater talking about different scenes, well there wasn't much talk afterwards.

With all that money & technology, the system couldn't alert the police & in this day & age, there was not 1 cell to call 911? Or the fact that she ran the dude over twice & he survived? Or the end where her husband is just sitting there & not trying to rescue his women?! Please!

this movie was nowhere near as good as the trailer made it seem. To be honest just wait til August to watch it on DVD or even til September when HBO picks it up

It was a good movie, predictable though but still good. Gab Union was AWESOME as usual but wish they would've told more in the beginning of her relationship with her father and more about her father that led to why there was a break in. just not enough in the beginning but all in all was a good movie...

Is not just a movie, is a message that makes you think how capable is a mother to do when her kids are in danger!! I totally recommend to watch it!!

The only annoying part of this movie is the people talking on the movie theatre during the movie, making comments, and screaming. If you know you do all that during a movie, watch it at home when it comes out or go when the movie theatre is going to be empty.

I'm a Gabrielle Union fan, even more so after reading her book. Movie was a good wraparound to remind me that she should be in more movies.

It was a very good movie. There were a few parts that didn’t make sense or didn’t seem to fit into the plot well. Without saying any spoilers, there were a few parts that I feel needed more explanation as to how or why they happened but overall the movie was good.

Good movie. I'm glad I didn't listen to some of the negative reviews. Gabrielle is a really good actor and she believably carried the movie as the star. Two thumbs up.

50
May 16, 2018

With more than a passing nod to the far classier Panic Room, this derivative seat-squirmer has a few good moments in spite of Johnny Klimick’s annoying score, its energy powered by the raw determination of its Mother Courage.

Union is committed and convincing, but the script apparently never met a cliche it didn't want to adopt wholesale. This offers some thrills and considerable pace, but never enough narrative force.

With an overbearing score, Breaking In telegraphs almost everything that happens yet still provides several jolts amid its occasionally questionable twists. While the filmmakers aren’t exerting themselves to deliver anything other than a popcorn-seller, Ms. Union is working hard to keep you watching.
