UNLAWFUL ENTRY

Michael and Karen Carr were raised to trust people -- especially professionals like physicians, ministers and policeman. No one warned them that betrayal can come from anywhere. After an armed robbery attempt on their suburban home, the couple do what anyone would do -- they call the police. That is when they meet Los Angeles policeman Pete Davis and immediately warm to his caring and sensitive attitude. In a dispassionate world of escalating urban crime, Karen and Michael feel that they have stumbled upon a friend who truly cares about their well being. Davis also relishes his newfound relationship with the civilians because he is used to the axiom of cops vs. everyone else...except when you need one. The professional relationship between the married couple and Davis grows personal. Then, just when everyone and everything seems perfectly fine, confusion and terror creep into their lives. Karen sees nothing but kindness, sweetness and caring in Pete Davis, while Michael sees a darker side of their new friend which genuinely scares him. These two perceptions build dramatically throughout the film and collide at the end. UNLAWFUL ENTRY stars Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe as Michael and Karen Carr and Ray Liotta as Pete Davis. The film is directed by Jonathan Kaplan and produced by Charles Gordon. My goal with this film says director Kaplan, is to create a thriller based on real tensions that exist today.
