I "Brake" For Good Movies. I Should Have Kept Going :(

It's like Die Hard...in a trunk of a car!

The Story:

Secret Service Agent Jeremy Reins (Stephen Dorff) awakens to find out he is being held captive in a plastic box in the trunk of a car.  Terrorists want information on "Roulette", where the President is being held during an attack on the Capitol.  But Jeremy won't talk, even when they take his wife, and he learns that there are others being held captive, and those captives turn out to be in the trunks of vehicles that are exploding across D.C. as car bombs!

To their credit, they take an interesting premise and turn it into a watchable movie.

The problem becomes, aside from voices, Stephen Dorff is all you've got to go with.  While he's a great actor, he's not exactly a "commanding the screen with his presence" kinda guy. 

Now, put Bruce Willis in the trunk of the car...

Dorff is more like the poor man's Christian Slater.  : )

Whether or not Agent Reins saves the day, well I don't want to spoil it for you if you plan on watching it.

Let's just say, what had been a decent enough movie up to that point, I can forgive many things...

But I can never forgive stupid endings.

And this ending...

Stupid.

Final Grade: C-.  Would have been B-/ C+ range until the end... now I'm dropping it lower!

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Nope, I'm good.
