Brake is a 2012 American action thriller film[1] directed by Gabe Torres, written by Timothy Mannion, and starring Stephen Dorff.

Jeremy Reins, a U.S. Secret Service special agent assigned to the presidential detail, is drugged, kidnapped and held captive within a glass box in the cramped, dark trunk of a car.

At first Jeremy thinks it is a prank from people he owes money for gambling debts, but he quickly learns that the truth is far more sinister.

The car is almost pulled over by police and a high speed chase ensues but Jeremy is unable to be rescued, although the box is shot, leaving a hole in the glass.

Revealing themselves to really be with the terrorists, Molly and Henry are told over the radio that they have the location now that they lured him into a false sense of security and Jeremy is to be killed.

[4] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote that the film exists for its Twilight Zone-style "gotcha" twist ending.

[6] Robert Koehler of Variety wrote that the script "leaves audiences feeling played" but Dorff "fully commits" to the role.
