Daybreak

Awesome movie. Get's a lot of comparison with THE USUAL SUSPECTS, but actually has more in common with Guy Ritchie's LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. Also reminded me of that other indie favorite, BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS AND OCTANE (only DAYBREAK is a lot slicker). DAYBREAK is a true thriller with more twists and turns than I've ever seen. It has big semi-trucks, excellent gun fights, and get this... the Portugese Mafia! I've been waiting years for another REAL gangster movie to come along, not just another Tarantino derivative. This is the film I've been waiting for. DAYBREAK makes gangsters cool again. If you thought Vinnie was cool in LOCK STOCK, wait'll you see the bad ass mother in this one. Makes Vinnie look about as dangerous as a vanilla ice cream cone. - 9/10.
