Breaking

892

...a noble and deeply sensitive effort that aims to commemorate an honorable veteran who was failed by the dysfunctional and racist country that he bravely served.

...John Boyega is a knockout in Breaking

Boyega’s performance has an essential sympathy and dignity that are vital to this drama; an unshowy sense of self-worth that keeps it together.

Boyega viscerally captures the all-too-human layering of power and powerless in being a hostage-taker not out for blood.

The best thing in this movie is the performance by a cast that rarely falters. It’s solid, from top to bottom.
