Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

This generic Brit-crim thriller finds Craig Fairbrass's enforcer troubled by ghoulish visions after a lifetime of hardened career carnage.

Times (UK)

Nutty, overblown, occasionally nasty and ultimately tedious.

Breakdown doesn't do enough to distinguish itself from an overcrowded canon of distinctly average British film.

Rated: 2/5

Paul M. Bradshaw

Total Film

A sadistic, shallow little revenger whose only saving grace is a handful of half-decent performances.

Rated: 2/5

Daily Express (UK)

The struggle unfolds in a predictable and nasty way in a film that is technically polished but way too long and tiresome.

pretty good film.Craig fairbrass said in a interview this was his best work to date.I disagree that's definitely his role in rofs as pat Tate but this is a good part for him as a bad ass hit man who starts to lose the plot and suffers a breakdown hence the films title lol..realizing he wants out the world of crime and murder to focus on what's most important, his family. but it's not that easy to walk away from his past ..everyone must die in order to protect his family..definitely worth a watch.I really enjoyed it :)
