Simply A Masterpiece

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Blistering performances.

I saw this film,during the Christmas season a few years back. This is a tame version of Die Hard. It takes place in Chicago,but viewers in Canada will recognize some of the Canadian outlets. The film was made,I think in Winnepeg. A lot of shooting and action takes place in this film without the blood-gore like it was in Die Hard. A good cast the actors was assembled for this film. Originally released for TV,Christmas rush,the film is available on DVD under the title,Breakaway. This a good film to put people in the Christmas mood as well entertain you. Dean Caine, plays the role of a police officer under suspension from the police force because of a cover-up,Eric Roberts,a reformed jewel thief,retired,separated from his wife,needs the money for a life saving operation for his son. Although the film does contain some violence,it should be OK for family viewing. After a long day of Christmas shopping,if this film is being aired on TV,watch it,or is available at the video store,rent it.

Is it just me, or is this just B-movie Die Hard in a mall? The perfect heist? An ingenious escape involving explosives? One cop who accidentally ends up in the middle of things? His wife used as a hostage? This all sounds very familiar. Hmmm....On the other hand, it is reasonably entertaining, and if you liked Die Hard, and you're bored, and you see it come on on TBS, you could probably do worse. The guy who plays the main hero is no Bruce Willis, but he does a pretty good job here...I could've done without the strobe effect in the tunnel at the end though. Is this required by the MPAA in all B-movies?

This is probably the better of the TBS supersation movies besides The Triangle. I found that some of the acting was a bit cheesy but hey it's enjoyable to watch. if you liked Die Hard then you might like this movie too.

Erika Eleniak & Dean Cain are not Mr & Mrs Bruce Willis.This film tries to be Die Hard IV [set in a shopping centre this time] as our hero attempts to foil a heist.Mostly harmless and silly, this was not particularly interesting.
