Most people I've talked to who enjoyed Breakdown will agree that they are typically hooked right away, solely from the opening credits. This movie signals danger the moment it begins and foreshadows it until reality becomes truly insane for Kurt Russell's character. Breakdown takes place in one of the most empty and deadly environments known to man, the desert. Little to no cell phone reception, an incredibly tiny police force, and a ring of psychotic criminals just make for a nightmare situation. This movie feels similar to a nightmare for that matter, and up to the last second you question the fate of these characters. A true blast, I wish IMDb did the 10 scale with .5's because this is a solid 7.5 / 10
