Movie Review- Breakdown

The film "Breakdown" has a fairly conventional plot.  Jeff and Amy Taylor ( Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan) are traveling cross-country when their car breaks down in a remote southwestern desert. A seemingly helpful trucker (JT Walsh) gives Amy a ride to a nearby cafe while Jeff stays with the car.

  Jeff manages to fix the car on his own and goes searching for his wife. What makes Breakdown so great is Kurt Russell's performance. Russell is completely believable as a desperate man who will do almost anything to get his wife back. JT Walsh is also very impressive as a mild-mannered psychopath.
