Breaking & Entering (Film)


Jude Law and Juliette Binoche remain strong through out

Saw this film last Friday and all I have to say is...excellent.

Truthfully, I thought it was just excellent in all aspects and am confused silly by the rating it's been given by the 13,000 some viewers at
IMDB who rate the film with an average score of 6.5 out of 10.

Excuse me? I'd say this film easily deserves a 9.0, perhaps a score even as high as 9.5.

Going into this film I hadn't much clue as to what it was about. The only thing I knew was it was about an architect who suffers a break-in at his studio. Little did I know such an event would result in the lead character's (the superb Jude Law) life being forever changed.

Without trying to give too much of the film away:

Jude Law's character, Will Francis, is currently in a relationship with Robin Wright Penn's character, Liv, that is spiraling downhill. The character of Liv is from Sweden and has brought along her young autistic child along with her to Britain where she met Will Francis. From there on, their already troubled relationship further goes towards the edgy rocks with the encounter of a break-in and the child who committed the particular crime; and a woman (played by the beautiful Juliette Binoche) who Jude Law's character falls in love with.

I cannot explain anymore without giving the story away, but to keep it short: I thought it was an excellent story. Well assembled with little gaps - proper continuity all through out the two hour film.

Contrary to what the films advertising gives away, this film is not a crime drama, but rather a love/life story.

Acting/Casting/etc:

Acting was another strong aspect of this movie. Most everyone put on a superb job, especially Juliette Binoche, Martin Freeman and Jude Law who played their roles like there was no tomorrow (sorry for the cliche..)

The casting of this movie was also excellent. I was glad to see Martin Freeman (from the U.K. version of 'The Office' who played 'Tim' on the series) receive a role in this movie. His acting is superb. A 'natural' if I ever seen one.

Verdict: Great movie!
