Home invasion thrillers and sleazy genre films cynically aimed at the "urban market" (aka what crusty, old, white studio execs love to call black people) are a dime-a-dozen, but combine the two and you get a pretty special blend of awful.

Breaking In revolves around a mother's (Gabrielle Union) attempts to break back in to the vacation home she initially escaped from, where a gang of thieves have sequestered her two children.

Daring to take itself seriously, this is soft-edged hot garbage that's elevated to cult status thanks to Union's unnecessarily committed performance and a series of villains so dunder-headed they give Home Alone's Harry and Marv a run for their money.

Though the violence is sadly only of the PG-13 variety and it lacks the campy appeal you might hope for, there's still some easy fun to be had in an against-the-odds momma bear going feral on a gang of slack-jawed yokels.
