Breakdown (I) (1997)
7/10
One of the Most Intense Thrillers You'll See
18 February 2023
This is one of the most intense high-octane movies from start to finish that you will see.

Not one single boring moment and the runtime and the pacing are just perfect.

Kurt Russell really shines in this movie and does a really good job in this role. All the actors do a great job honestly, but Russel is the star of the movie.

Though the action is really well-done, especially for the second half, along with some improbable things that happened, I think it kinda made the movie more "Hollywood action"-y and maybe a little less realistic. Though nothing against that, but I kinda expected this movie to take the more realistic approach and not the Hollywood action-hero route. It's not exactly that, but in the second half, it kinda borders on being an unrealistic Hollywood action film.

But nonetheless, this movie is a really good time and you will not get bored. It's intense through and through and a great thriller overall that doesn't overstay its welcome. Definitely check it out, you won't regret it.
