“Breaking” (** out of four) was a muddled melodrama about a former-Marine veteran (John Boyega) who suffers a personal and mental breakdown and decides to holdup a bank resulting in a standoff with him and the various police operatives (led by Michael Kenneth Williams) who have their own agenda. Earnest attempt to showcase the PTSD and various other problems veterans face but it’s superficial at best. Boyega’s strong performance gives this movie a lot more emotional force. Williams is dynamic as usual in what was his final role.
