Diagonaldi Very well executed

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

iroxursoxorama I think it's definitely watchable but it has some "Yeah, Ooo-kay" moments. For one, the cops are taking there sweet ass time. For two, when he's getting chased by the gentleman in dreadlocks why in the world does he take the time to go all "Home Alone" on him and open some bottles of product and put them on floor when he has a good 20 foot running lead in a mall with a bunch of places to hide. At one point one of the black dudes is actually building a bomb to take the protagonist out within feet of him. Truthfully, I think it would've been a better movie if we let the antaganist be the protagonist, because our hero basically comes off as the nosy bitch down the street that nobody likes.

FrostyHornyPie Okay, so it's a ripoff of Die Hard. How many TV movies have you seen that don't bear remarkable resemblances to specific theatrical movies. And so there are goofs galore. But if you just relax and watch it, you will probably enjoy it. You won't remember it long afterward though. I watched it because I'll watch anything with a Christmas theme or setting. In this case, it basically, like Die Hard, an action movie with a Christmas setting, but there is a mild theme in it which I won't reveal since it would involve spoilers. There is a bit of sentiment in it though, the fact that there is a child involved who requires a prohibitively expensive operation to save his life.

RLARKT199 I saw this film,during the Christmas season a few years back. This is a tame version of Die Hard. It takes place in Chicago,but viewers in Canada will recognize some of the Canadian outlets. The film was made,I think in Winnepeg. A lot of shooting and action takes place in this film without the blood-gore like it was in Die Hard. A good cast the actors was assembled for this film. Originally released for TV,Christmas rush,the film is available on DVD under the title,Breakaway. This a good film to put people in the Christmas mood as well entertain you. Dean Caine, plays the role of a police officer under suspension from the police force because of a cover-up,Eric Roberts,a reformed jewel thief,retired,separated from his wife,needs the money for a life saving operation for his son. Although the film does contain some violence,it should be OK for family viewing. After a long day of Christmas shopping,if this film is being aired on TV,watch it,or is available at the video store,rent it.

Alex Brown Erika Eleniak & Dean Cain are not Mr & Mrs Bruce Willis.This film tries to be Die Hard IV [set in a shopping centre this time] as our hero attempts to foil a heist.Mostly harmless and silly, this was not particularly interesting.
