Breaking and Entering (2006)

Rich business owner with an office in the bad part of town suffers a break-in and becomes involved with the mother of one of the thieves.

Somehow, despite the sympathetic circumstances of both of the leads and the talent/likability of the actors playing them (Jude Law and Juliette Binoche), this quickly becomes a "no one to root for" deal. Everyone behaves distastefully and there are too many extra hurdles for these people that it just becomes unbelievable.

Jude Law is very vulnerable here, but the movie felt both too muted and too full of portent for me to ever get on its wavelength.
