	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"The only real suspense comes from seeing whether the film can stretch its wafer-thin premise and paucity of ideas out to a full 90 minutes"	NEG
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"Union certainly dedicates herself to all the huffing, running, jumping and emoting, though her efforts never counter 'Breaking In's aura of trashiness and disposability"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[Union] brings plenty of conviction to this thinly written exercise (...) For those seeking a few mindless thrills, unlike the bandits, you've come to the right place."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The listless, leaden acting, writing and direction in this breathtakingly stupid bomb-ola defies audiences to stay conscious through its drag-ass 88 minutes (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Ken Jaworowski The New York Times	"A paint-by-number plot still leads to an entertaining picture in 'Breaking In'. Here, you get what you expect, but it’s a little better than you may have anticipated."	POS
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"'Breaking In' is a clever twist on the home invasion genre, with a dynamic lead performance by Gabrielle Union"	POS
United States	Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly	"The film takes a route that’s too silly to be taken seriously and too tame to be any fun."	NEG
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"Gabrielle Union is great (...) This viewer caught himself giggling at just how well it was working (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joe Dziemianowicz New York Daily News	"Audiences will be too bored by this predictable dud (...) There will be the feeling that we've seen this all before"	NEG
