Breakdown Rezensionen & Wertungen
- flavo4330. Dezember 2025Breakdown is a tightly wound action thriller that wastes no time pulling you into its escalating tension. From the moment Jeff and Amy’s car falters on a remote highway, the film keeps you on edge, constantly guessing what might happen next. Kurt Russell delivers one of his most grounded performances as a husband pushed to the brink, capturing both fear and determination as he searches for his missing wife. Opposite him, J.T. Walsh is chillingly effective as the calm, calculated leader of a criminal group that preys on unsuspecting travellers. Their dynamic gives the film real weight, elevating it beyond a standard chase‑and‑rescue plot. The pacing is relentless, the stakes feel real, and the sense of isolation amplifies every twist. With strong performances and a suspenseful, no‑nonsense approach, Breakdown remains a gripping thriller that holds your attention from start to finish.
- Walter Jospeh Kovacs22. Oktober 2025Good film, thriller and action. Some moments really make your heart sink. I always thought of Kurt Russell like a 'B' action movie actor in the 90s and actually his performance was solid. I'm sure this is one of many films that contributed to the reason why I'd never visited outback America.
