alan g Lousy movie. Just an excuse to put his mistress in a film. Several others like this also. Avoid them all. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was hilariously awesome. Bronson was just the right amount of smooth operator, with a cool temper. It was highly entertaining.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best of Bronson's mid-70s output in my opinion, however, is Tom Gries' "Breakout." The story has drama, humor, and tremendous forward momentum, the cast is superior, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, John Huston, and Jill Ireland. Most importantly, Charles Bronson breaks out of his silent-and-stony persona and creates a character that has depth, humor, and humanity as well as toughness... Bronson breaks all the rules and still comes out a winner--The movie "Breakout" was based on a true story by Joel Kaplan, the man who actually broke out of a Mexican prison, after being framed for murder. He wrote the book. It was actually his sister who arranged his escape, not his fictional Hollywood wife... Another Great Escape!! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The day I'm reduced to making love in here...that's the day I give up. A prisoner wrongfully accused and sent to prison tells his wife he has a plan to breakout. She cuts a con artist pilot a check to help her break him out, when he discovers the mission, he offers to pull the mission through for $50k. They agree and begin an adventure to rescue the husband...but will they fall in love in the process? "I've never been raped." "We should all be so lucky." Tom Gries, director of Breakheart Pass, Helter Skelter, 100 Rifles, Will Penny, Journey through Rosebud, Lady Ice, and Girl in the Woods, delivers Breakout. The storyline for this picture is above average for the genre and fun to watch unfold. The script is pretty witty and the characters are interesting. The cast includes Charles Bronson, Robert Duvall, Randy Quad, Jill Ireland, and Sheree North. "What are you going to do, condemn a man because he was caught?" I DVR'd this because it starred Charles Bronson, Robert Duvall, and John Huston (in a small role). All three of these men are eccentric, recluse, Hollywood heavyweights and I thought it would be cool to see them in a picture together. Overall, this is an above average action picture that is worth a viewing but far from a classic or worth adding to your DVD collection. "Rape me. I'll help you." Grade: C+ Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
