Breaker

I caught this film casually on TV, I was not instantly hooked but somehow could not get myself to switch channels, and am glad I did not. What is remarkable in this film is that it did not seek to present sympathetic or likable characters, it presented characters and their relations to each other, amid hard living conditions, reminding me of Italian "realistic" films made in the sixties in black and white, sometimes filmed in slums near big cities, and reflecting the lives of real people, and not always offering solutions or happy endings. "Breaker" should be a good example of what independent film makers can do (I hope the crew of this film gets good recognition and future opportunities, their effort here is award stuff), and it is a relief that amid mega blockbusters, noisy action films, and CGI studded productions, we see such films. And for those who worry about happy endings, the film is not as bleak as you might think ! Well deserved 9 stars.

Sometimes life isn't what we see on the internet. A gritty yet realistic look at a dysfunctional family in rural backroads America. One of the better movies I've seen in a long time.

I don't think it's a movie for action and thrill lovers. If you want to chill and see miserable lives then you can watch it as a late night movie. I didn't get the complete story. There are not enough details. Some parts are left to watchers' imagination and thinking.

The acting in this is bad, it's like they where chosen just cos of the way they looked, but non of them had many facial expressions, storyline is very weak and had lots of holes in it, the production, scenery and locations where very good, perhaps the only good thing about the film 👍👍

Can someone explain the ending??? Hard movie to follow, timeline wise. No mention of the time lapse between scenes. Again, the ending...no idea what happened. Did someone die? Did the guy get the land??
