A teen thriller to enjoy your late Halloween celebrations. What brings genius to the simple plot of friendship and love being celebrated on New Year's Eve is the length of time the script holds the audience's attention throughout the entire film with much of it taking place in a gondola.

Creative dream sequences, aerial cinematography and scenescapes of the Russian mountain ranges are tactfully used to build suspense and propel the story between the friends who inevitably begin turning on one another.

The characters aren't developed enough for us to genuinely connect with them as they slowly begin turning on one another. The rapid descend into madness by some of the characters is a little hard to swallow with extreme measures being taken that barely make sense

Many reviewers have compared this to and recommended watching the movie "Frozen". I have seen both, and I think Break is actually a better and much more entertaining than Frozen. When the characters are presented in a life/death situation you can really see how there personalities change as far as who is only look out for themselves , who is ruthless and who is calm and clever, and who will turn on one another. To a degree it is predictable, but I don't think anyone is going to expect a smooth ride on a lift. It was about an hour and twenty minutes and it actually went by quickly.

The voice overs were just terrible. Not even laughably terrible. Just all around bad. Maybe would of been better if the movie was in subtitles. Couldn't get through more than an hour. Had a couple decent scenes but nothing very entertaining. Wouldn't recommend it.

WHY did they feel it was necessary to dub the voices into English???? It almost reminds me of those BAD Kung-Fu movies from the 1970's. In my opinion,the dubbing KILLED what could have been a pretty OK thrill ride. It was REALLY HARD to get past the HORRIBLE voices,but if you can get past that,the film is worth a watch. Sure...this film TOTALLY RIPPED OFF "Frozen" (which was a FAR BETTER movie) but if you have an hour and a half to kill,this one isn't that bad. It does have some good suspense at times. Overall I'll give it a 5 out of 10. Not GREAT...but not awful either.

Forget the bad acting, tension n suspense is lacking in this film. Apart from the attractive babe Katya, nothing is good in this film.
