Synopsis

Official: Breaking The Girl is a contemporary thriller akin to the film noir classic Strangers on a Train. When university student Sara (Bruckner) is slandered by a hostile classmate, she is befriended by the manipulative Alex (Zima) who proposes the perfect, untraceable crime - to kill each other’s arch enemies. When Alex actually goes through with it, Sara finds herself being framed for murder.

Alternate: Directed by Jamie Babbit, Brit Marling and Madeline Zima have landed the lead roles of Alex and Sara, a duo that commiserate over their enemies. Alex suggests that they should kill off each other's nemeses, Sara shrugs it off as a morbid joke until someone turns up dead.
