    Good

    One of Craig's better movies & has such screen presence. Brilliant actor and love him in portraying gangster sort of character's.

    Slow and very boring

    It takes a long time to go where it wants to go. Craig Fairbrass plays his normal characterisation, normal dialogue 'Hardman'. The only thing that saves this is the presence of James Cosmo. Apart from that, it is a violent over timed movie that could be cut down by at least 30 minutes just by speeding it up and making it a little more exciting.

    An absolute awesome British thriller!

    Just when you think they don't make any good indie British films anymore, unless its gangster Essex boys, football thugs and drugs, along comes something right out of left field that literally stopped me in my tracks, I actually paused the film and SCREAMED!! You have to COME watch this, it's really good! and we did.

    BREAKDOWN is not the norm by any stretch, OK its low budget, but there is something extremely engaging about it, its cinematic, gripping, beautifully acted in my view and totally convincing..I did look away a few times though especially in the torture scene but on the whole a seriously good film, riveting storyline, believable characters and the taxidermist twist I just loved. You just have to keep the faith and keep watching British films because every now and then something rather special comes along and BREAKDOWN is just that.

    Completed to write this! Peace and Love.

    Pulls off a good effort in a swamped genre.

    I was not expecting much from this as it came out of the blue but was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. All the actors were more than accomplished in there roles, especially the female leads. Mr Fairbrass does his usual impression of 'wasp chewing bulldog' but also managed to at least attempt some tenderness. Some nice turns and a twist keeps the pace up without relying too much on ultra violence, of which there is plenty.

    The only infuriating let-down was the damn sound balance. Whisper quiet dialogue (especially Connor) that ramps to 200db at the flick of a switch. Sitting with hand poised over volume control for the whole film got tedious!

    Apart from that, good work.

    Better than his usual films

    You know what you're gonna get with Fairbrass. You're not gonna get Oscar performances but compared to some of his films, this was better.

    I enjoyed it, although I could see where it was heading.

    Overall, one of his better films.
