Joe Hayward thinks he’s confronting the man having an affair with his wife but he’s really stumbled into the middle of a plot that’ll blow up Philadelphia in just under two hours – what a day, eh Joe?
Breakneck sounds like a fun, exciting story but the corny action and bad jokes (the sex toys and truth serum gags were so unfunny) only made me feel like I was watching a bad ‘90s action movie unfold. Because it’s so fast-paced the threat is never explained well and remains nebulous throughout (a bomb – for reasons?) making it hard to care much about what was happening and, with all the forced humour, the effect was more farcical than exciting.
I guess I was invested enough to want to know what was going to happen in the end, and its pacing meant that it was never that boring but it’s still a very rushed, muddled and unmemorable narrative. I can see why this nonsense got rejected as a movie in the first place!
