  Whoever thought combining Buried, Olympus Has Fallen, and multiple rejected Goosebumps twists was a good idea needs to reevaluate their skill as a writer.

  Review by Jim ★★ 9

  Cheap Buried knock-off, with a decent turn from Stephen Dorff, that fails to generate the interest or the suspense of that particular Ryan-Reynolds-starring trapped-in-a-horizontal-box-handily-with-a-phone thriller. Or, for that matter, the confined-to-a-vertical-perspex-box-obviously-with-a-phone thriller, Phonebooth. Plus the ending is contrived nonsense and makes a mockery of all that has gone on in the preceding 80 minutes.
  For Chyler Leigh completeists only (can't be just me?).

  This was really good until the last 10 minutes when it made me really fucking angry

  Review by JimmyP77 ★★★ 3

  Stephen Dorff has a real shitty day stuck in a box in the boot of a car. Bit like the time Ryan Reynolds had a real shitty day stuck in a box. I enjoyed this more though. Nice finale.

  Review by Kevin Cormier ★★½

  Stephen Dorff stars as a man who awakens to find himself locked in a plexiglass box in the trunk of a vehicle with nothing but a digital countdown timer and a CB radio at his disposal.  Basically this film is a one man show for nearly the full runtime.  Dorff is good in the role, and the unraveling story keeps you interested.  Very watchable thriller.

  Review by Rick D ★★★

  An excellent thriller. Stephen Dorff is excellent as he has to carry the flick since it involves him for about 95% of the film. Suspense gets ratcheted up as the movie progresses.

  Not quite as tight as Buried, but awesome nonetheless.

  And for those crying 'Buried rip-off', both films were written and developed at the same time. Buried just came out first.

  Review by Ryan DeMas ★★★

  I’d like to happily admit I guessed both endings to the movie. First ending seemed like it was happening due to the build up and the second ending was just way too obvious since the movie didn’t feel like ending after the first ending. I actually guessed the twist as soon as the movie “ended” and didn’t even really need it to continue any further without guessing it correctly. Just too obvious. Still a decent watch though.

  Review by Albert Luís O. Bezerra ★★★★

  O primeiro ato e segundo são muito bem feitos e conduzidos...
  Roteiro simples, “americano” e inventivo até...
  Pena que desconfiava de algo... e acertei... mas não tira o brilho...
  Já o terceiro ato... pode, a depender da sua expectativa, ser regular...
  foi outra sacada que saquei kkkkk.
  Ótima atuação do Stephen Dorff...
  Eu sabia que conhecia a Chyler Leigh de algum lugar...

  Review by FilmFan1971 ★★½

  Tweets from the EdFilmFest press screening of Brake:

  So, Dorff In A Trunk (or Brake, as some people insist you call it) wasn't quite as much fun as Reynolds In A Box. 

  It's watchable enough but it drags in the middle and has a very silly ending that should be played for black comic laughs and isn't.

  That said, it does give you more or less what you would expect from a film about Stephen Dorff being locked in a trunk. #NOTTHEBEES

  I hope Stephen Dorff and Ryan Reynolds do a film together soon, so they can bond over their mutual In-A-Box film experiences. #DorffInATrunk

  Terrible. Poor plot, dude spent the whole movie in the back of a trunk and for NOTHING. Boring.
