Charles in charge!
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
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?
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.

Action-packed Bronson time-filler
Typical Bronson actioner where he plays a gun for hire using a helicopter to get American businessman, Robert Duvall, out of a Mexican prison. Randy Quaid plays Bronson's assistant, and Bronson's then real-life wife, Jill Ireland, plays the wife of Duvall desperate to get her husband out. Director Tom Gries also directed the highly acclaimed western, "Will Penny" in 1968. Made in 1975, this was a signature Bronson film that unfortunately typecast this highly talented actor who was unusually adept at a variety of roles as his wide body of work in film and television and in both the USA and abroad would attest. After these films, Bronson would later star in the highly-successful "Death Wish" series of film for which he is probably most known. This film's action sequences, especially the helicopter rescue, will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat.

LIFE IMITATING ART
When BREAKOUT was released in 1975, it was shown at Jackson State Prison (Michigan). Several days later, someone tried to break an inmate out of the prison using a helicopter. Unlike the film it failed. But another classic example of life imitating art. The prisoners would have been better off trying to get an imitation of Sheree North in (the)black lingerie (sequence). BREAKOUT is yet again another enjoyable Bronson time waster, not of the caliber of his work with Michael Winner, but still worth a look. The Jerry Goldsmith score is first rate as expected.
