Breaking and Entering' - UK Rated: 15
Runtime: 118min 37secs
Tagline:Love is no ordinary crime

Plot Outline
A Landscape Architect (Jude Law)'s dealings with a young thief cause him to re-evaluate his life.

The story follows Will (Jude Law), an architect who lives with Liv (Robin Wright Penn), a documentarian and her behaviorally challenged daughter. After a series of break-ins at his office, Will begins staking it out in order to find the culprit. This puts an extra strain on his already tenuous relationship with Liv. One night, he sees a young man breaking in. He shouts to him, and when the kid runs away, Will pursues him.

Will follows the kid, Miro (Rafi Gavron), to his apartment in a rundown area. At once he becomes entranced by Miro's mother Amira (Juliette Binoche), a refugee from Serbia who works as a seamstress. Will invents reasons to keep coming back to see Amira. How things go from here become the crux of the story.

Overall Impressions:
Firstly I want to say the kid in it reminded me of cross between Heath Ledger and Edward Furlong (John Connor from T2) the resemblence was uncanny. That aside, enjoyable and realistic thinker, with top notch performances all-round. It had a similar feel to The Last Kiss that I saw a week or so back .. thinker, but the climax this time is a little cliche' that I must admit I almost didn''t want when watching it, but fairly justified.

Wouldn't rush out to see it in a hurry, but would see it. (6.5 out of 10)

Oooh, he does look a little like the Heath. He's a bit too young for me though *sighs*
