Glenn,
Not really. (I am presuming you are referring to the stuff sold and installed all over by the window tinting film people who just apply the film to the inside of the glass.)
The only "security film" which works is that which is applied to the glass and extends over onto the frame around the glass, which is then securely attached to the frame around the glass with a special fastening trim to hold the film to the frame, not relying on the glass for anything other than keeping the film from flapping in the breeze ... and that is with "special film" too, not the normal stuff being sold.
Whenever you see "security film" installed on the glass and trimmed off at the frame, one smash and the glass goes ... taking the "security film" with it. So much for being "secure" with that one big open hole, actually makes it safer to the unwanted person to enter as it holds the glass together instead of leaving large dangerous shards for them to have to climb through.
