Brake Ratings & Reviews
We Got This Covered
Jeff Beck
While the film is suspenseful for awhile, it ultimately becomes a let down because of a stretched out story and an absurd ending.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
It's a clever B-movie that has a number of fun twists up its sleeve.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a second-rate carbon-copy of Rodrigo Corts' vastly superior Buried.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Who needs rationality when a film's compelling? Between the powerful central issue and Dorff's rock solid performance, Brake makes for an exhilarating experience.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Dorff is stellar and the film builds some tension but a bit too much required suspension of disbelief, some plot holes, weak dialogue, and two increasingly silly twist endings ultimately sink the piece.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The whole claustrophobic one-man show feels like we've been here before, and with better material.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
There are plenty of gripping moments, as well as a few silly ones - bees get involved at one point, presumably to please Wicker Man fans. And the ride as a whole is at the very least exciting to take part in.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Talk about being boxed in: This thriller is half-"24," half-"Buried" and, despite a few twists, unable to move anywhere.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
an idea for a short extended far beyond its creative shelf life
Variety
Robert Koehler
Brake may not be the kind of film that Dorff's thesp character in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere is pining for, but the actor fully commits to the arduous demands of the part.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Dorff and Torres make a lot out of very little, always keeping the audience aware of the larger world outside the small, dark space in which they've trapped us.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
Works as a budget suspense experience, reaching enough boiling points to entertain, but not enough to block out the ridiculous ending.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
If we're never drawn in far enough to wonder what we might do in a Plexiglass box at the end of the world, Dorff can sell stock action-hero lines with enough moody grit to hold our attention.
Observer
Rex Reed
It is amazing how much hair-raising action and fluid movement this film captures in the confined interior of a car trunk, or how many mood shifts Mr. Dorff conveys in a performance that can only be called multi-dimensional.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Brake" is a full-scale paranoid nightmare with back-to-back double-whammy endings.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Dorff's mannered Bruce Willis affect seems as insincere as the script, which helplessly loses credibility as info accrues and the narrative unpeels.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Stephen Dorff's energetic performance cannot compensate for the minimalism of the plot.
MSN Movies
James Rocchi
Your mileage enjoying Brake may vary, but even if you spot the final destination coming, it's a pleasant enough joyride.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Until its pair of ludicrous twist endings, which complicates its message and logistics in ways that make little sense, Gabe Torres's Brake plays like a more simplistic version of Buried tailored specifically to a hawkish right-wing crowd.
NY1-TV
Neil Rosen
It's never boring, and although some of this is flawed and kind of ridiculous, including the implausible ending, if you go along for the ride, there's fun as well as some suspense to be had here.
