Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

j-lacerra This is a TV movie about a big time robbery of a mall. It insults our intelligence on just about every level. First off, Dean Cain does not look nearly old enough to have a family with children of the age shown here. But, how did this youngish, goateed fellow get to be a police lieutenant? He looks only about old enough to be out of the academy for about a year or so! Stumbling upon a robbery of the mall (where his wife works, of course) on Christmas Eve (see "Diehard"), Cain goes into pursuit mode. Well, I have news for these ignorant Hollywood script writers: forced opening of the outer doors of an elevator while it is in motion will result in immediate stopping of the elevator itself. There are also no convenient clean chains hanging to allow a person to shimmy down to the elevator cab. Oh, and our hero just happens to have a multipurpose tool in his pocket, with which he merely turns a screw on the elevator threshold and releases the doors. NOT! With this amount of foolishness to show just how improbable this movie is, I declined to be assaulted by it any further. Avoid this turkey!

RLARKT199 I saw this film,during the Christmas season a few years back. This is a tame version of Die Hard. It takes place in Chicago,but viewers in Canada will recognize some of the Canadian outlets. The film was made,I think in Winnepeg. A lot of shooting and action takes place in this film without the blood-gore like it was in Die Hard. A good cast the actors was assembled for this film. Originally released for TV,Christmas rush,the film is available on DVD under the title,Breakaway. This a good film to put people in the Christmas mood as well entertain you. Dean Caine, plays the role of a police officer under suspension from the police force because of a cover-up,Eric Roberts,a reformed jewel thief,retired,separated from his wife,needs the money for a life saving operation for his son. Although the film does contain some violence,it should be OK for family viewing. After a long day of Christmas shopping,if this film is being aired on TV,watch it,or is available at the video store,rent it.

souschef81 I was living in the city of Winnipeg Manitoba when this movie was being filmed! It was great to see this movie being filmed just a few miles from where I lived! This film was in the "Portage Place Mall" where I hung out a lot, and to see all of the Christmas decorations put up in June, I was wondering what was going on. I thought it was a great movie, because I know where everything was when I was watching the movie, "see I was sitting there a lot" I was telling my family members, and "that is where I parked my care when I was at the mall!" It is just great to watch a movie and know that you were there to see it being filmed, even thought it most of it was filmed in the wee evening hours, I was there too in the wee evening hours!! And many other movies were filmed in Winnipeg at the time!

tricia-16 I loved this movie. It had plenty of action, a reasonable storyline and a simply gorgeous leading man (DEAN CAIN). Add Eric Roberts to the ingredients then you have, in my opinion, a really great T.V. movie. Dean & Eric work well together and have great respect for each other. A revelation to me was Erika Eleniak. I think she was good as Cat, the wife of Dean Cain's character, Cornelius.I loved the ending to the movie!!!
