Leave your thoughts about Brake.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenStephen Dorff's energetic performance cannot compensate for the minimalism of the plot. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfWorks as a budget suspense experience, reaching enough boiling points to entertain, but not enough to block out the ridiculous ending. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullan idea for a short extended far beyond its creative shelf life |
| New York ObserverRex ReedIn retrospect, it's preposterous. But while you're gasping for air, it's one hell of a thrill ride, like being stuck on a malfunctioning roller coaster for an hour and a half at top speed, and unable to get off. |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersOver 95% of "Brake" takes place in the trunk of a car. But, despite the confines or perhaps because of them, it's a decent enough thriller. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeIt wouldn't go so far as to say it feels like you went through Jeremy's ordeal for nothing, but I did wish I had come to know as much about Dorff's character as I did about the size and shape of his nostrils. |
| MSN MoviesJames RocchiYour mileage enjoying Brake may vary, but even if you spot the final destination coming, it's a pleasant enough joyride. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckMost of it is a decent film despite it being stretched out, but most of it being good just doesn't cut it. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayRidiculousness aside, though, Brake is reasonably impressive both as a performance piece and as an exercise in staging. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanIt's a clever B-movie that has a number of fun twists up its sleeve. |
