Critics, per Wikipedia

Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla gave the film a 2-star rating, lamenting the favouring of the "demands of algorithmic entertainment at the expense of plausibility". Elsa Fernández-Santos of El País deemed Firebreak to be a film "that does not quite catch on". John Serba of Decider.com gave a negative recommendation, pointing out that the "irritating" suspense in the film is couched with nonsense, as "logic and reason elude these characters".

    FIREBREAK on Netflix is a thriller mystery from Spain (org. title: Cortafuego) with a story that includes a roaring wildfire and a child disappearance. More than anything, this plays out like a very intense psychological thriller. Read our review ↘️

    > Alan Wake 2 has now sold more than 3 million copies since its release in October 2023. **Because of its initial PC exclusivity with Epic Games**, the game took some time to become profitable, while Remedy later also had to deal with the poor performance of FBC: Firebreak. Did I miss something? As far as I can tell AW2 PC is still only available from the Epic store.

    Firebreak is a rare gem in modern European cinema. What starts as a heart-pounding race against a natural disaster quickly evolves into a deeply unsettling psychological thriller. Director David Victori perfectly captures the claustrophobia of a forest fire, but the real "heat" comes from the breakdown of human trust under pressure. Without spoiling it, the twist is absolutely mind-blowing. It recontextualizes everything you’ve seen in the first two acts. The film brilliantly explores how grief…
