Brake
The only way out is to give in.
Directed by Gabe Torres
Produced by Lightning Entertainment, La Costa Productions
A claustrophobic, high-tension thriller that traps both protagonist and viewer in a dark, confined space where psychological and physical torture become the primary narrative engine.
A Secret Service Agent is held captive in the trunk of a car and endures high-speed mental and physical torture as terrorists attempt to extract needed information for their sinister plot.
