BREAKDOWN

(USA - 1997)

Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Super 35)
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital

After their car breaks down in open country, a married couple (Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan) are pitched into mortal danger when Quinlan disappears after accepting help from a sinister trucker (J.T. Walsh).

Well-scripted thriller, in which Russell and Quinlan become entangled in a ghoulish extortion plot after falling prey to some less than savory characters (I'll say no more). Believable plot twists lead to a dynamic climax which should have most viewers rivetted to their seats, and which probably accounted for director Jonathan Mostow being hired to direct TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES (2003). Tense, exciting stuff, worth a look.

I have never been sure whether this film was originally meant to be scary or not. Cartainly it has all the elements of a good ghost story. The inescapable fact is simply that this film is the funniest thing that John Carpenter ever did.
The story follows the adventures of Jack Burton (Kurt Russell), a freelance trucker, who finds himself mixed up in a gang war in San Francisco's China Town. Things turn supernatural when the god Lo Pan appears with his servants - the three storms: Ligthing, Thunder and Wind. Jack and his friend Wang Che find must rescue Wang's fianc��� whom Lo Pan has chosen for his bride from a supernatural underworld lurking below a warehouse.
This film has horror elements but the overall effect is storybookish in many ways. Though there are some sort-of grusome scenes, there is nothing really bloody about this film. The film also features some really spectacular Kung Fu battles of the kind to be made popular in films like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' which would come much later.
The only thing keeping me from giving this film five stars is the presence of Kim Cattrall whose acting I have always found stiff and unbelievable. Thankfully, her performance is good enough not to get in the way of the rest of the brilliant actors including James Hong as Lo Pan.

Good wholesome movie. Some cuss words not to my liking but overall a fun movie for the entire family. We have seen it many times and never get tired of it. And the final scence is always anticipated.

This is one of those action thrillers that goes perfect with popcorn or chips or whatever. It's really intense. As a growing fan of political thrillers, this gets even better after repeated viewings. With action, drama, humor, and of course, thrills, this should be watched by those who are into these sorts of movies. And for those who want to see Steven Segal killed off in the film, then this is your first, and probably only, chance.
