To me, this movie is perfection.

Boring

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I watch the new British films emerging from a generation of filmmakers trained in the language of Hollywood realism and soaps and TV detectives/villains and wonder if anyone who gets involves in making cinema like this realises what a waste it all is..same terrible copies of every other kind of cliché/stereotype/scene structure/shot style/music soundtrack that has been a massive bore time and again. Dreadful script, appalling characterisation,violence,lots of blood,gore,and for what ? For no one to see it in a cinema,or anywhere else with luck, all for the sake of making "a film".Those who made this should be ashamed .....when there are so many ordinary people's lives in Britain totally ignored by mainstream media, hidden behind crap like this so called film.

In the story of "Breakdown," there is a fascinating premise about a career criminal killer with a conscience. The protagonist named Alfie (Craig Fairbrass) belongs to crime syndicate specializing in sadistic killings. But Alfie's breakdown occurs when he starts to have visions of the past atrocities for which he was responsible. The drama that unfolds is how Alfie must find a way to get out of the business of killing.Sadly, the good potential of the film as a character study is overshadowed by the excessive violence. Not only were the gruesome scenes prolonged beyond the pale, but they were often not very believable. This was especially true when Alfie enlists his wife and teenage daughter into the never-ending string of killings.There was a good cast led ably by Fairbrass as Alfie. But the filmmakers' focus on the screen violence made the film virtually unwatchable in places.

First off the poster is completely misleading. There is no London Skyline, helicopters, swat teams, actually no police at all for a change in this genre. Furthermore, Tamser Hassan only has a brief cameo where he does not carry a gun. Overall a good effort with a number of good performances, Emmett Scanlon stands out. After a believable and sometimes gripping first 2 acts it is let down with a clichéd final act. particularly the main character using his family in a fight against trained assassins,totally absurd. For the best assassin in the business he and family get away with what only can be described with as sheer luck in the end.

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.
