‘Brake’ Trailer: If You Liked ‘Buried’…

Okay, so it’s probably not entirely fair to compare the two films when I haven’t even seen Brake yet, but the premises do seem pretty similar. The other (again, possibly unfair) comparison that springs to mind for me is 24, though that may just be because of the digital countdown and Dorff’s passing resemblance to Kiefer Sutherland.
That’s not to say that Brake can’t be good even if it does end up resembling Buried or 24; there are certainly worse things to take inspiration from. But the trailer looks solidly middle-of-the-road to me, neither good nor bad enough to be anything but forgettable.
Synopsis:
As his captors reveal themselves and their motives, Jeremy realizes he won’t be set free until he gives up the whereabouts of “Roulette,” a secret location where the U.S. President is taken in the event of a terrorist attack.
Jeremy Reins (Dorff) is about to have a very bad day. He wakes up in total darkness, confused and disoriented. The only light comes from the blood-red digital numbers ticking away above his head. Jeremy quickly realizes he’s in trouble. It’s hard to breath. He can barely move. And no one will answer his cries for help. Then, he hears the sound of an engine and it all becomes clear…he’s trapped in the trunk of a moving car.
