    Don't read all the reviews with spoilers

    Seriously, why do people write reviews just to spoil the whole movie?

    I thought the movie was the standard done to death "Strangers On A Train" which I have actually seen and recommend. It is the original after all. This one has women for the central characters and a love triangle of sorts thrown in for good measure. Good eventually triumphs over evil and everyone does get what's coming to them, but who gets what and who gets who, you have watch to see. Unless of course you read all the various spoiler reviews. I thought it was worth watching because it was different and I'm sick to death of predictable movies.

    Sexy version of a classic

    Being gay, I want more films and sadly most are heterosexual based that I just can't fully get into so when something like this comes out I get excited only to be often ket down. Not this time.

    While the script isn't anything unique few are anymore and while not the best, the acting was better than many care to admit. It kept me interested and wondering who would end up with who while providing a lesbian setting we need more of.

    Also I'm not sure where Brook came from so there are a few holes that I wished was addressed but if you can overlook a fee minor issues I'm sure you'll enjoy the film as I did.

    Breaking the girls, good thriller movie

    "Breaking the girls" is a film released in 2012 directed by Jamie Babbit. This is a thriller style of the famous Sex Intentions without the match. Three actresses share the prize: Agnes Bruckner, Madeline Zima and Shawn Ashmore Sara is a strong young woman, ambitious and very beautiful. Alex, her equally pretty classmate took her under his wing. Alex and Sara constantly gossiping about people they do not like. The two women closer and more ... One day Alex suggests that each should kill the biggest rival of the other. Sara takes this as a joke until she learns the death of someone she knows well. Nevertheless, the film is very long to launch, more than a half hour to wait ... but then it will bounce bouncing like a good thriller. The ending is unexpected and that's good for viewers....

    Dark, mysterious, mega plot twists... Watch it!

    Maybe I'm biased because I'm a lesbian and the girls are really pretty, but!!!... that aside, this film deserves a much higher rating than it has been given. This is one of those movies where at times you think you know exactly where it's going and then all of a sudden everything changes and you have to keep guessing. You don't "love" the characters in this one, it's not the point. Part of the thrill is seeing how unexpectedly messed up people end up being. Sure, there were parts where things didn't quite add up or when it was really unclear what the characters' motives were, but that's the whole mystery (and the point of the movie). Overall, I was quite entertained for the duration of the film. I realize that this one is likely to be a "love it" or "hate it" film, but given my taste, I loved it.

    Girl problems

    If you have girl problems I feel bad for you son ... Jay Z knew it ... I hope this does not age too badly (when are you reading this and do you understand what I am talking about?) ... well no pun intended either way, so here goes nothing ... well not nothing. Especially considering the sexual nature of the movie. Do not expect to see any nudity though - there are steamy scenes ... but nothing more. I am or was good with it - hope you are too.

    The actresses make it worth it. The twists may be weird (especially in hindsight) and I am not sure if they totally work - logic wise. Anyway, you can have fun with this little romp .. let's call it that. This is not a break out ... or a break in as the title suggest... it may break a soul or two (am I talking characters or viewers? Well you'll be the judge - which you kind of have to - morally and otherwise speaking ... and again no pun intended)
