    One of the more intelligent, better-made new movies around right now, but, despite everything, it doesn't really connect with the nerves and heart. It's a romance without anguish, although the pain of love is really what it's all about.

    For all its contrivances, Breaking and Entering has its finger on the pulse of contemporary London life and possesses its share of fleeting delights, chief among them the sublime Robin Wright Penn as Law's live-in girlfriend.

    Bold in scope and aptly mimicking the loose structures of kinship, friendship and work most city dwellers make do with these days, Breaking and Entering nonetheless plays out too quiet and too loose for its own good.

    Entirely respectable in every way, it nonetheless has a very cool body temperature and thus likely will inspire polite admiration rather than excitement among viewers.

    Loved this drama. Jude Law and Juliette Binoche are wonderful. A real chick flick

    The characters are cold when they should be cold, but there is no heat when there should be heat. That may be the problem in the main character's life, but in the end his lack of passions makes the movie slow and cold. The 2 women, particulaly Robin Wright Penn, are very good and the photography is excellent.… Expand

    What a complete waste of time! I felt like there was a scene or 2 missing because all of a sudden you see Jude Law in a relationship that makes no sense.… Expand
