A killer hired to make a hit on The Man and his lover becomes hunted when the woman turns out to be an ex-lover he cannot kill.

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.

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

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.

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

Cheesy, but entertaining film. Decent in a campy way, but otherwise a cliche crime movie.

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
