‘Entering’ a dreary new Europe

Though it stars the skilled and charming Jude Law and comes from the filmmaker behind the acclaimed “Talented Mr. Ripley” and “The English Patient,” “Breaking and Entering” never steals much attention.

The mostly well-acted but dry drama of modern European angst tries to make a comment on love’s strong grip and London’s new melting pot. Instead, it’s an Old World wallow with a flagging pace, flat emotion and dubious meaning.
