Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Bearded MovieGuy A government agent with a gambling problem is locked in a box in the trunk of a car, terrorists want to know the location of a secret base where the president will be and are going to keep him boxed up till they get it. It's kinda a action movie in a car trunk, if that makes any sense. This kinda has and interesting premise, and had some potential, but sadly it just never seems to realize it. Stephen Dorff is good for what he has to work with, and it has a few OK moments, but the twist ending seemed dumb and clunky,which just made the whole thing leave a bad taste in my mouth,cinematicly speaking. 2 Beards Out Of 5

xanderlavelle Well, to be honest it is really hard to rate this movie, but in the end it was kind of exhausting.Of course when you are watching this movie there comes an immediate comparison to "Buried" to your mind. It starts the same way and has a similar storyline. But "Brake" cannot hold up to the other example.Although Stephen Dorff plays his role quite good you cannot get an empath feeling to his character and this would be mandatory for a movie nearly based on one protagonist.The worst thing is the ending where the story holes even got smashed in with a wrecking ball to ruin the complete sense that was made up until then. And once the story is ruined even the reaction of the main character becomes implausible.Unfortunately, not worth watching

T T I watched this movie despite reading reviews that the ending ruined the whole film. I hoped the reviews were wrong - unfortunately they weren't. The story and Agent Jeremy Reines situation is gradually explained to us. Much like the film Buried. The first 80 minutes are genuinely tense, with some great acting by the under-rated Stephen Dorff. However, all the build-up, all the time and emotions invested are totally let down by the wholly far-fetched and unbelievable ending. Not to mention, every actor in this who is not Stephen Dorff sucked royally. This was a great 80-minute film and a horrendous 90-minute one. For a much better use of concept, if not slightly more depressing, watch Buried with Ryan Reynolds.

starsteamer This was a surprising film in the sense that it was one that I had not heard of but came across on a movie channel. I began watching it and was hooked within minutes. Considering it was just one actor in a very restricted space, this movie held my attention throughout. I would say however that this was to do with the acting of the very under-rated Stephen Dorff rather than the particular plot. In regards to the plot, it was one of those 'could have been great' rather than was great as it was predictable in the sense that the holes were too obvious to conceal the ending. This was a disappointment as with a few subtle changes this could have been a fantastic movie. I am pleased however that I finally saw Dorff in a role where he actually gets the chance to showcase his acting abilities. I would recommend this film but it is not one I would watch again.
