Breakdown (1997) ****

A simple, pure genre exercise featuring believable performances (most notably J.T. Walsh in the final role released during his lifetime), taut direction, a rich score by Basil Poledouris, and a whopper of a finale, Jonathan Mostow's road thriller Breakdown (1997) is about 90 minutes of just pure tit

Recommended for fans of The Hitcher (1986) (my review here), Duel (1971), and Hitch-Hike (1977) (my review here).
