BRAKE
September 16, 2013  | By David Bianculli

The Movie Channel, 9:35 p.m. ET

 

Stephen Dorff stars in this 2012 movie, which I haven’t seen, but point out here specifically because its plot sounds so similar to Hostages, one of CBS’s new drama series premiering this month. Brake is about a Secret Service agent (Dorff), not a surgeon (Toni Collette in Hostages), but otherwise it’s the same basic idea: a well-connected protagonist is abducted and threatened with the death of loved ones unless they help with a presidential assassination plot.
