"The Big Break" is a big budget action send up of this feeling of hopelessness, of fighting against a vapid industry-a sort of "Falling Down" for the Hollywood hopeful. It’s a self-aware pastiche of industry clichés married with broad action beats and satisfying one-liners. Cathartic and hilarious. It’s also an accomplished bit of filmmaking-polished and well-shot, with high production action sequences and a plethora of “name” talent. Sneakily, writer/director Gil Freston gets to make fun of the industry, while also making a polished pitch for getting work in it. - S/W Senior Programmer, Ivan Kander
