- Synopsis
- After their new Jeep conks out on a desolate stretch of Arizona highway, a well-heeled Massachusetts couple accepts the help of a polite and seemingly honest trucker (J.T. Walsh), who drives the wife (Kathleen Quinlan) to a diner while the husband (Kurt Russell) stays behind to "protect" the vehicle. After saying goodbye, the husband gets two surprises--the Jeep starts, and his wife never actually arrived at the diner. Whats more, the trucker doesnt recollect having picked her up at all.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A tough, vigorous exercise in pure action"
-
"Each set piece is effectively executed, but the characters and their motivations become progressively dimmer and more confused."
-
"Mostow displays real flair for visceral cinema while adroitly sidestepping many of the usual tripwires of this sort of film, particularly silly coincidences"
-
"Breakdown is the latest in a seemingly endless traffic jam of thrillers that opens strong but finishes abominably"
-
"The great thing about Breakdown is simply that what you see is what you get. Want 90 minutes of edge of the seat tension? You got it. Want an unravelling nightmare that stays with you long after the movie? You got it."
