What I mostly love about Breaking In is that Shaun Russell never appears as a victim. She's in control every second under the most stressful of circumstances. She never wavers in her determination to protect and keep her family safe. Produced by Universal Pictures Breaking In opened Mother's Day weekend and is in theaters now!!!
