"What are you gonna do, tough guy? You gonna make a citizen's arrest?" – Officer Pete Davis

Why watch this? What do you do when a policeman decides he wants your wife?

Plot Summary: After a home invasion leaves a couple shaken, they find comfort in a seemingly helpful police officer. However, the officer's interest in the couple, particularly the wife, escalates into an intense and dangerous obsession. He begins to manipulate their lives and insert himself into their marriage, creating a terrifying and escalating power struggle.

  Dad's Preview: What makes this film so watchable is the fact that it could happen to any one of us homeowners. Kurt Russell (in a film similar to his 1997 success Breakdown) excels as a regular guy thrust into an extraordinarily dangerous situation. He doesn't know how to handle things. Ray Liotta also impresses as the unhinged officer. Nobody does crazy better than Liotta - it's all in his eyes. This taut thriller will keep you on edge all the way to its rewarding conclusion.
