Synopsis: Breakdown (1997)
Synopis: After their new Jeep conks out on a desolate stretch of Arizona highway, a well-heeled Massachusetts couple accepts the help of a polite and seemingly honest trucker (J.T. Walsh), who drives the wife (Kathleen Quinlan) to a diner while the husband (Kurt Russell) stays behind to "protect" the vehicle. After saying goodbye, the husband gets two surprises--the Jeep starts, and his wife never actually arrived at the diner. What's more, the trucker doesn't recollect having picked her up at all. This taut suspense film, directed by Jonathan Mostow, is light on special-effects bombasticism and heavy on the old-fashioned Hitchcockian chills.Features: Breakdown (1997)

I miss JT Walsh
, January 31, 2001Reviewer: burns751 - See all burns751's reviewsI'm not a big Kurt Russell fan, but this is worth a rental. JT Walsh is excellent (as he always was), and the story is failry decent. The end gets a little silly, but it's not a bad movie.

Pros: Acting Chops
Cons: A bit grainy
I haven't seen this in a long time and it appeared this afternoon on the USA Network- I forgot how good it is! It is a bit grainy but I think it has that effect for a purpose, from beginning to end. A stellar cast of actors makes it well worth watching and bless the late Walsh, he was a great asset to the film industry and is truly missed. Special effects are actually quite good.
