The first trailer for Breaking has been released online. Directed by Abi Damaris Corbin and written by Corbin and Kwame Kwei-Armah, the film stars John Boyega, Nicole Beharie, Connie Britton, Olivia Washington, Selena Levya, and Michael K. Williams in one of his final film roles.
The plot synopsis reads: “When Marine Veteran Brian Brown-Easley is denied support from Veterans Affairs, financially desperate and running out of options, he takes a bank and several of its employees hostage, setting the stage for a tense confrontation with the police.”
Our editor-in-chief Joey Magidson saw the movie at Sundance, when it was titled 892, and said that “John Boyega has never been better […] Boyega makes Brian deeply troubled and clumsy, but also incredibly decent. Seeing a hostage taker apologizing to his hostages could easily not work on screen. He makes it heartbreaking. As for Williams, his empathy here is off the charts. It’s a small turn, but one that leaves a big mark.” You can read his full review of the movie here.
A first poster was also released in anticipation for the movie’s release, which you can look at below:
