Review of Breakout (1975) by Philip French for The Observer (UK) — 12 Jan 2008
Bronson is a first-rate action star with a catlike grace and a nice air of menace. But here, trying to land a helicopter after only a few lessons on how to fly it, or staging a phony rape scene to distract prison guards, Bronson is given a sort of incompetency he doesn't wear well.
We believe him more easily when he's strong, silent and infallible.
