Underrated and amazing
I think that Breakdown is one really overlooked thriller masterpiece. This movie has a unique atmosphere to it. Atmosphere of isolation and dangerous loneliness. Kurt Russell is never a bad actor and he's really fits into this average Joe type while still having charisma and talent to pull this off since the whole film pretty much focuses on him. I also like that the movie has a lot of practical action scenes. Not sure is there any CGI, but I really doubt there is. Which is awesome and reminds me how you don't need special efffects to make good and solid action sequences. From the bottom of my cinema-loving heart I highly recommend this flick to everyone who's into thrillers and overall good films, hehe. Too bad it's really hard to find on Blu-ray. I'm not even sure it exists somewhere outside of DVD format.

...one of the most effective and flat-out engrossing thrillers within recent cinematic history...
A taut, well-crafted suspense film that delivers the paranoid goods. Nifty morality play about the invidious vices of envy and showing off.
