Andrew Barker Variety Ugly and inert, Break strives for grindhouse thrills but lacks the verve and style that made those films so beloved, and is neither sincere nor intelligent enough to develop into anything more. May 8, 2009 Full Review Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times Break contains all the elements you'd expect from a hard-boiled Quentin Tarantino knockoff: the complicated hit men, the fetishes, the blood baths, not to mention the presence of Michael Madsen and David Carradine. Rated: 2/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly What's most stunning about Break, beyond its pitifully amateurish production values and badly choreographed fight sequences, is that it actually has name actors in it. Apr 30, 2009 Full Review Steve Ramos Boxoffice Magazine Only Madsen walks away from Break with his reputation unscathed, and this is if only because he's already something of a B-movie kingpin. Rated: 1/5 May 8, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Cheesy, but entertaining film. Decent in a campy way, but otherwise a cliche crime movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member boring... just boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member plotwise not too bad. characters acting is nothing great.. names are not taht good... going for a big lebowski thing namewise but fails. ... its just meh aand a little corny at times Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice story, with a few interesting twists and turns, but you see them coming most of the time. But Frank Krueger ruined it by didn't know how to act naturally. David Carradine certainly puts a sparkle onto this otherwise barely watchable flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member rubbish! a waste of talent. madsen, carradine, durning, russo all wasted! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It is not the greatest hit man movie of all time...But what would I know. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
