Breakout Reviews:
Bronson's slang is enough to buy this! 
2009-07-27 - Bronson, the only man who could take Chuck Norris in a fight, is at his best in this one. Hilarious quotes from Bronson help make up the differences in a thin plot. If you love Bronson, you need this one.
Good Film
2009-05-23 - A very good film,Bronson never made any really bad films,he did some average ones but not any terrible ones in my book.Plays a guy who runs a run down charter plane service who gets hired by Jill Ireland to break her husband out of a jail in Mexico,the husband played by Robert Duvall.I always thought they could have added in a bit more storyline into the film regarding the John Huston character who plays the father-in-law of Duvall.We know Duvall has been set up but this is never really explained to much,ie the reasoning behind it all.Still would reccommend to anyone.
Charles in charge!
2008-09-20 - This is Charles Bronson at his best. On the top. Bronson at the top of his game with "Breakout". This film also features: Robert Duvall and Randy Quaid. And you can all ways count on the sleazy Sheree North to throw in a little T&A fun too! I love this film.
Action and fast paced
2008-01-18 - Breakout
A must buy for Charles Bronson fans. His real wife, Jill Ireland, is just so beautiful. Robert Duvall, Sheree North, and Randy Quaid greatly support Bronson in this "breakout" tale of Bronson and company rescuing Duvall from a Mexican jail, for a crime he did not commit.
There is action, humor, action, and great tension and drama in this movie.
The jovial side of Bronson? 
2008-01-02 - This isn't the best Charles Bronson film but it isn't terrible either. The plot is simple Jill Ireland pays Charles Bronson to save her husband played by Robert Duvall from a Mexican prison. It also needs to be noted that Robert Duvall's character was framed for murder.
After some convincing and negotiation of economics, Bronson takes the job. The acting in this film isn't too bad either. There is a bit of build up towards the actual "Breakout" in this film. Randy Quaid also plays a nice part as Bronson's sidekick.
There is some action and Bronson even manages to get into some hand to hand combat. Bronson also has a great sense of humor and good spirit as a man who is going to a foreign country to spring a man out of jail he has never met before. Not to mention the fact Bronson is breaking myriad laws both domestically and internationally. He really has a con artist/game show host quality about him. Just remember his five hundred dollar check that he "hasn't cashed" for over two years.
Overall "Breakout" is a decent movie, not to be confused with any of Bronson's vigilant films such as Death Wish (saga) or Cannon Films of the 80s. I would recommend a new comer of Charles Bronson to start out with any of these former films Charles Bronson did before watching "Breakout".
On a final note, there is a dummy used in this movie that is absolutely hilarious. I don't know if other people get amusement out of it, but I sure do.
