Streamer-tax driver Kurt, who has hung cameras in the cabin, decides to kill all his passengers. To increase the number of views, of course. Otherwise, what's the point? Automatically recalls the shooting of schoolchildren in Kazan: there, too, the killer first somehow unsubscribed on the Internet.
The film also features stand-up comedian Jesse Adams, who is far ahead of Kurt in popularity online. After a short trip to Kurt, she is lucky to be alive, and she then mulls over the behavior of a strange taxi driver who obsessively suggests she subscribe to his channel. On his show, Jesse will say she's basically just like him. That all those who crave followers and popularity, are forced to hide themselves real in order to gain this popularity. It's like mental prostitution. Paraphrasing well-known words, it turns out a group of people who for the sake of several million likes will go to any crime. In the film, even Kurt's father is prone to a race for popularity, so maybe this group of people isn't that small after all.
In general, the problem with films such as The Break is that they get too carried away by the inner world of their abnormal character, from which the film seems to some extent crazy. Jesse's serious monologue at his concert about addiction to this whole unhealthy story of popularity is the only sane thought that is somehow hopelessly lost somewhere in the middle of the film between the haunting acts of a psychopath.
