JT Walsh: Breakdown (1997)

R.I.P. JT Walsh....Sorry for the crudeness of the video but it's taken from a DVD

[@5809AUJG]

One of the most talented, gifted, and intelligent actors I've ever seen, and one of the most underrecognized and truly neglected ones of all time. He was phenomenal. I've never forgotten him. Can't. He was that good. I wish he hadn't died so soon! God rest you, Mr J.T. Walsh. You were the best!

[@neneshubby]

My wife and I saw this at the movies. Amazing thriller. The type of movie Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore. No CGI, no political messages, just two excellent actors in Kurt Russell and JT Walsh.

[@MrParkerman6]

There was C.G.I, dummy. When the Semi-falls on Red at the end, dumbass.

[@neneshubby]

@@MrParkerman6 Does it make you feel good to level personal insults at somebody you don’t even know over a movie post? You just gave me a small insight into your lack of character and I’m glad I don’t know you and never will nor will I stoop to your level and start calling you names.

@@MrParkerman6 You get too many words given to you, you don't deserve them. But I know you get off on this, a reaction is a reaction which is a victory or no reaction is no reaction which is a victory. The sad thing about you is you actually think you're justified.

Watched this movie again the other day. Wonderfully written with superb acting. RIP J.T. Walsh.

Mr. Walsh was a fine actor. He gave a fantastic performance in every movie he was in. The sad thing is he probably never got the credit or recognition he deserves.

What I liked about this movie was how the two main characters were just a couple of regular joes and when the shit hit the fan, there were no fancy moves or cheesy one liners. It made it seem more realistic

JT was truly an amazing actor So sharp and professional. Miss him dearly 💔

[@mathewtillery5401]

JT Walsh was one of my favorite actors. Played those sleazy villains so well. It seemed so easy for him. Him and Kurt did 4 movies together.

[@leo29hornsfan]

They were such great friends as well. That played a huge roll for this film. They worked so hard together to nail their characters together rehearsing it over and over until it was just natural when shooting.

[@Locadel2003]

There are few movies of Kurt Russell career that I rewatch every 1-2 years, Escape from La, Used Cars, Tango & Cash, Soldier, The thing, Tombstone and BREAKDOWN. Excellent underrated 90s thriller that has a great pace

[@bubhub64]

Walsh played a scary role in this film as a sociopathic serial killer. Great acting by Walsh. RIP

[@MrParkerman6]

Not a Serial Killer, dummy. They were spread out too much.

[@FervAnimalLover]

@@MrParkerman6 LOL what? You're the dummy. It doesn't matter if they're spread out years as many serial killers do spread out their killings over years. . It was established with Kurt Russell seeing the newspaper clippings and the statements by Barr's cohorts that they were serial killers.

[@oldiesmusic76]

@@MrParkerman6 Grow up!

[@MrParkerman6]

@rapidpolitico Yes it does, fucking dumbass. A serial killer is defined as someone who has commit d at least three murders not all at once (mass murder), but over time, BUT NOT over TOO much time.

[@payamyazdi7672]

RIP JT Walsh

[@Bertiesghost]

Another favourite character actor of mine was Brion James. Ironically he died a year after JT also at 54.

[@jjrj8568]

That scene when he finds Russell's characters for the second time and denies everything, claiming that he never saw him before still gives me the creeps; a true sociopathic criminal.

[@davidstarsky6435]

This movie is so underrated. Real great thriller that played with the fear of a breakdown in the middle of nowhere and some stranger that helps them, but is not what they think he is. Little cgi, just a great story, good actors and great stunt work

[@JTMoney22]

JT Walsh was so good at playing the scumbag!

[@Guero_Solis]

I love the way this character wears like a real cowboy truckers used to wear, Wrangler jeans, Wrangler jacket, Tony Lama boots and Tony Lama belt buckles. If this character had wore a Resistol cowboy hat, it would have been perfect!

[@volvo145]

Such a great actor, discovered him in Dark Skies and seen every Movie he has b een in. Such an authirithy over Everything.

[@kamranshah-f1x]

not only j.t. walsh but m.c gainey was also great in that movie as the secondary antagonist earl. like out of all the villains that were played by walsh and gainey, red and earl from breakdown were the best i ever liked. it's just too bad that walsh had an untimely death.

[@Contakum]

JT Walsh (September 28, 1943 - February 27, 1998) always wanted to play the good guy but he ended up with roles like this where his very appearance and mannerisms led you to believe he was undeniably the bad guy.

[@90sWrestlingBoy]

Agreed. Great actor.

[@gerdamelle]

A nice contrast with A Few Good Men, another favorite film of mine

[@samfreedenberg2422]

Great film! Russell and Walsh were also in “Executive Decision,” although they did not appear in any scenes together. Russell played another rise-to-the-occasion everyman, and Walsh played a U.S. senator who thought he could be the hero against terrorists (a la Ellis in Die Hard). RIP JT.

[@nev707]

Jt Walsh changes his shirt and baseball cap from the first time he meets Kurt to the second time in the space of just a few hours.

[@commentbeast140]

Neville Stevens seems like plenty enough time to change some shirt and cap :P

The bad guys in this movie, in addition to be pieces of shit, were STUPID. Why were they all so excited over $90,000? That is not a ton of money to begin with, and, on top of that, it had to be split up several different ways. So, at most, each one would get maybe $20,000? They risked life in prison (and possibly even the death penalty) for that?

[@Clonetrooper1139]

Arrogance. You saw the movie. All the license plates and merchandise Red had in his barn. This gang had been doing this for years and had disposed of God knows how many people in the process. They had no reason to think they were at risk. That will teach them to screw with Snake Plissken.

[@4exgold]

thats a lot of money to be asking from a middle class couple. they were gonna kill both when they got the money anyway. small town in the middle of nowhere and 2 regular folks from out of state disappear off the face of the Earth. Nothing would happen to Red and his gang and theyre now 90k richer after maybe a day's "work". Repeat a few times a year and its a nice earner without much hassle.

Will the movie "Breakdown" in 2022 on Lifetime? Rodney Rowland might replace Kurt Russell as Jeff Taylor. Zooey Deschanel might replace Kathleen Quinlan as Amy Taylor. Rex Linn, who played Sheriff Boyd in 1997's "Breakdown", might replace the late-J.T. Walsh as Warren "Red" Barr. And, Richard Cabral might replace Rex Linn as Sheriff Boyd.
