    Had to see it

    I liked the overall plot of this movie but thought something was missing. The acting was good and there was a lot of action. It didn't seem like it would cost a lot of money to produce a movie like this. There was a couple parts that didn't make sense to me but I don't think I'll bother to watch again. The previews kinda reminded me of the movie buried so I was hesitant to watch. It didn't matter to me how or why the guy was put in the trunk. It was tiring watching him try to get out. I got more into the movie as it progressed and was thrown off at the ending. Overall it was okay but could of been so much better. Definitely a one time watch only movie for me.

    Enjoyed Brake

    The entire movie Brake is set in the trunk of a car. I'm not kidding. You might think that premise sounds ridiculous and boring. But think of 127 hours during which most of the movie takes place in a cranny of rocks or Buried in which the entire movie takes place in a coffin. Brake lives up in comparison to those two titles, plus add a little bit from The Game into the mix and it's a pretty fun ride. The main character reminds of Bruce Willis at times and he had Willis' Die Hard intensity even when he's not swinging down a skyscraper from a fire hose through a window but stuck in, well, like I said, the trunk of a car. I was presently surprised by Brake. I recommend it. There isn't a dull moment.

    A good watch

    I enjoyed this. Late to the party in watching it. I felt the story line was strong, and it must have been a cheap film to make, and without giving spoilers away, yes, the secret service agent awakes in the trunk of a car, as the film discription says. I'm not sure about the.conclusion of this film, you decided, but it left me feeling irritated. Overall, good film

    Boring and predictable

    This movie is so boring especially if you have seen Saw and Buried(oh and the Recruit). The beginning is so similar to Saw that I couldn't sit through it. The end was predictable and without giving away too much I can say that it was really what one expects. All in all, a failure as movie, not because it's bad as a standalone thriller, but because it's not the first of it's kind and borrows too much from it's predecessors.

    To sum up:Originality in the script is the big issue here. However, if you have not seen the other movies I mentioned, you may like this one.( Saw is way way way better though)

    Edge Of My Seat

    Literally was on the edge of my seat with this one! Thought I had figured it out. Then prided myself on such only to find with every twist and turn, I was sadly wrong. I was then pulled deeper into story and captivating performance. The Director must of had his hands full to be able to tell a story so captivating with the material at hand. Definitely shows the skills of the Director, DP, Editor and Musical Score. Happily impressed to be taken on a journey that showed no sign of clues to where it might lead. Which is so rare these days. Well done! I will watching out for this director to see what else he will bring to the big screen.

    • Trivia
      Lead actor Stephen Dorff is really claustrophobic. Director Gabe Torres did not know this until after filming wrapped. Torres stated that Dorff's willingness to stay inside a glass box for the duration of filming was "extreme method acting".
    • Goofs
      With short wave radios, the person speaking must press a button to engage the microphone to broadcast, and cannot receive signal while the button is depressed. In other words, only one person can speak at a time. This is why people say "over" when they have finished speaking-- to indicate that they have finished taking their turn. It is not possible to interrupt someone while they are broadcasting, as is depicted in the movie several times.
