About This Movie

Loose Brakes is an interesting entry in the crime genre. The film's atmosphere has this gritty undertone that makes you feel like you're really in the underbelly of the city. Detective James Tennant, played with a weary intensity, returns from retirement, bringing a layer of complexity to the narrative. The pacing has a slow burn quality, which works well for building suspense around Thea Bearson's murder. There are some solid practical effects that ground the more intense moments, and the performances have a rawness that feels genuine. It’s not your average detective flick, as it dives into themes of loss and redemption, making it stand out in a saturated market. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate the nuances of crime storytelling.
