About Break Up
Housewife Jimmy Dade stays with her violent husband, Frankie, even after his abuse leads to the loss of her hearing. When his car is found with an unidentifiable dead body inside, police officers John Box and Andrew Ramsey suspect Jimmy has killed him. But, after discovering her bank account has been emptied, Jimmy fears that Frankie is still alive, and she goes on the run -- with the police in pursuit.
Directed by Paul Marcus, Break Up leans on a strong ensemble — Bridget Fonda, Kiefer Sutherland, Hart Bochner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1998.
