I totally agree with Roger Ebert! This film works so well until the ending scene! First, the ending stretches plausibility to the breaking point! A 10000 lb tractor won’t be held by a slim piece of metal! Also, my sympathy for the wife vanished with her final act of raw vengeance! She turns out to be not much better than the J.T. Walsh character, in terms of morality. That said, I’ve seen Breakdown several times because, in spite of the lazy ending and it’s moral breakdown (no pun intended), it’s scary as hell!

Too long but historically accurate with terrific action scenes. I thought Nick Jonas did a fine job of acting! Halsey did not have shingles. He was sidelined at Midway with a mysterious ailment that kept him bedridden for nearly a year.

This movie is a woofer. I watched it for free on Netflix and that was too much! Chastain, as good as she is, couldn’t save this mutt! If AVA were a horse, the vet would shoot it!

I didn’t like it as well as The Martian but it’s a wonderful film nonetheless. Brad Pitt should win the Oscar, hands down, and it should take home directing and special effects! The special effects were breathtaking.

Depressing as hell! Could been a great movie but chose t be a shallow interpretation of a tragic event. Why would an author give an unstable victim the address of a person he believes responsible for his family’s demise when that person has obviously disappeared for a good reason? The characters weren’t well developed, and neither was the story! The only characters I identified were Jacob’s wife. The ending left a great deal to be desired. A disappointment!

I thought it a bit fuzzy plot-wise! I had a hard time keeping the characters together. Good performances by Mirren and Chastain but the character of Wilkinson wasn't well-developed. Dis Mirren's character survive at the end? All in all a good movie, but sort of implausible. For example, why did the two men stomp out after the plate in the face incident leaving this monster with Chastain? His escape was thoroughly predictable!

Fun movie to watch especially if you’re a pilot as am I. The only problem I had with it was the fact the they cast Jimmy Stewart as a star baseball player considering he was 48 years old and grey haired when this movie was made. He supposedly knocked in 152 runs the previous season when he would have been 47!! I first watched SAC in 1956 when I was 8 years ago and didn’t recognize the film for what it was…an Air Force recruiting tool and shameless Cold War propaganda! They could have at the very least dyed Stewart’s hair!
