Breaker

Why we want to be bothered by a movie that only showed us a bunch of miserable people trapped in a wide wilderness trying to get by without any hope? Why we have to know these peoples' pathetic day in and day out struggles. The mother and the sons are constantly in fights with harsh words and violent behaviors among them and to each other. There's no love at all in this so-called "family" but completely dysfunctional. They lived like pigs, the rundown shabby house is a dump. They hate each other. The bad boy comes home with dishonored charge from the military. He's dumb and angry and his brother is even worse. The mother treat them differently but also indifferently. The rancher is the only sane person in this wildness, but I just don't know how he could make a living just by owning some horses? Why we have to waste our time to know these peoples' lives? There's no way to show us any hope that we could make America great again with these kind of pathetic citizens. The rural America is in a terrible condition. This kind of movies only deepen the hopelessness and the fact that America is really in big trouble.

One of the best movies ever. It's a mix of fun, action and drama. The Cast ist very good, we see the next Oscar winner.

I caught this film casually on TV, I was not instantly hooked but somehow could not get myself to switch channels, and am glad I did not. What is remarkable in this film is that it did not seek to present sympathetic or likable characters, it presented characters and their relations to each other, amid hard living conditions, reminding me of Italian "realistic" films made in the sixties in black and white, sometimes filmed in slums near big cities, and reflecting the lives of real people, and not always offering solutions or happy endings. "Breaker" should be a good example of what independent film makers can do (I hope the crew of this film gets good recognition and future opportunities, their effort here is award stuff), and it is a relief that amid mega blockbusters, noisy action films, and CGI studded productions, we see such films. And for those who worry about happy endings, the film is not as bleak as you might think ! Well deserved 9 stars.

Sometimes life isn't what we see on the internet. A gritty yet realistic look at a dysfunctional family in rural backroads America. One of the better movies I've seen in a long time.

The acting in this is bad, it's like they where chosen just cos of the way they looked, but non of them had many facial expressions, storyline is very weak and had lots of holes in it, the production, scenery and locations where very good, perhaps the only good thing about the film 👍👍
