Broken Down

source: Broken Down

Harold (Sam Cobean) lives in his car that is as broken down as he is. He is given two weeks to move his car or it will be towed. He watched his father kill his mother 20 years ago and now he lives in his car. He has a support group among which is a young boy Jacob and Jacob's mother Jenny. She is in an abusive relationship with Randy who beats them. Guess where this is going? The ending wasn't hard to figure out once we get all the data points. The film was okay for what it was. It really need one of those New Orleans vampire. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The idea for the story isn't bad. Had the cast been better ,they might have pulled it off. You can tell there was no money for this movie as the ambulance barely started during one scene. Clearly it wasn't a real ambulance. Also the writing was pretty bad. Obvious non smokers pretending to smoke always bothers me. Again the concept for a guy stuck in his car is a good one, they just need somebody to do it properly. Rewrite it and recast it.
