Though Star Wars first put him on the map for many, John Boyega is an actor worthy of more leading roles like Breaking.
Let’s get one thing straight right away: John Boyega was done dirty by Star Wars. Both narratively with his character and on an individual level as a person, the franchise failed him. It is therefore understandable why the actor recently said that he is going to steer clear of the series and turn his focus to more independent films.
His newest performance in Breaking, originally titled 892 when it premiered at Sundance, is yet more proof of that. The film is based on the tragic true life of the late Brian Easley as recounted in the article ‘They didn’t have to kill him’: The death of Lance Corporal Brian Easley,’ itself worth reading in its entirety. It follows Boyega as Easley who, driven by desperation after being denied his disability payment, takes several hostages in a bank.
This is something that Breaking isn’t quite as adept at fully navigating. While Boyega remains as multilayered and mesmerizing as ever, the way the story shifts into being more conventional in its construction frequently dulls his vibrant work. In particular, the way the final moments fall into place is misjudged to the point of being rather disappointing.
