It’s an hyperbolic, insanely hilarious, reverse-heist-action-comedy-caper-thriller-of-the-highest-order with a class act by starring and supporting actors and actresss. Cinematography is through the roof.
This reviewer believes that BREAKING AND RE-ENTERING is kinetically charged crime film with two beating hearts at its essence: One pulsing with drama, the other pulsing with a dynamic range of comedy, from slapstick to black – and beyond. There is a dizzying array of intricately zany scenes with head-spinning antics that can take an audience’s breath away. Things happen at breakneck speed, so, it’s best that audiences try not to blink.
The plot: A gang of veteran thieves, preternaturally savvy and skilled – flushed with copious amounts of machismo – are coming off their latest successful caper that netted them with goo-gobs of $$$. And then it happens: They are blindsided by an insidious fate: They must sneak back the money they stole from a rich entrepreneur (a real snake in the grass).

Laser-beaming obstacle courses, cockroach catastrophes (really big cockroaches), and more sardonic humor than one could imagine in a movie – several movies, yes, but just one?!?!? – are way too intricate for this reviewer to try to explain, coherently, how they fit into the plot; that would result in a major spoiling and despoiling that this reviewer doesn’t want to do.
There are many times in this beaut of a caper that the film score-soundtrack was so arousing that it had the reviewer on the verge of jumping up and boogieing and strutting around with his head bopping and arms swinging in rhythm. This reviewer wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually learn that many audiences did just that at movie theaters or in front of their big screens at home.
Audiences should anticipate being so hooked watching BREAKING AND RE-ENTERING that they might be swept up by that hunger to see the film again and again and again, as fast as they can.
