Breaking In isn’t a fresh suspense/thriller as the story has been done, to some extent, done before though with the twist of a mother trying to break back into the fortified home. Gabrielle Union delivers a fine performance in what is in the end an entertaining throwaway thriller.
Bad Boys I & II is another bang-bang series from Michael Bay and although I disliked the sequel, the original at least is enjoyable enough. The pairing of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence offers fun chemistry between the two and the action scenes are at least unique in some sense although done to death by Bay himself to the point where you’re not sure if you’re watching Bad Boys or Transformers.
