Break

To be fair it's not bad, story flows - kinda mini 'Top Boy' does snooker. Only neg - Think main character took same acting lessons as Danny Dyer but still is worth a see. Ideal if you like a bit of snooker but tonight it's 'movie-night' - even if partner doesn't partake in a bit of velvet ball action both will still be film satisfied. 'A snooker film with knifes, weed, no Steve Davis characters and not much snooker'.

Not the best film I've ever seen but I'm glad I saw it. The lead role played by Sam Gittins was so natural and understated, very impressed by him.

I'm also not the biggest snooker fan but I don't think you need to be to enjoy it. A simple story well told so not sure why it's getting so much hate.

'Break' is relatively good, somewhat against the odds.

It is quite rough around the edges, though it features a story that is perfectly watchable and is portrayed competently by those behind the scenes. Onscreen, the actors are all fairly solid. Sam Gittins is decent in the lead role, as are Luke Mably and Adam Deacon. The standouts, though, are Rutger Hauer and, particularly, David Yip. There are some neat snooker cameos too, albeit wooden ones.

Visually pleasing to see that this has a run time of 1hr 47mins. Nice touch!

// Break is a 2020 British film written and directed by Michael Elkin.

This is a Snooker movie you never knew you needed in your life but more than that this is a story about a young man set in his ways that tells us, it is never too late to make those needed changes without clubbing you over the head with tropey cliche nonsense. Break respects it viewer and commands your respect in return.

If your hoping for the new "Hustler" or "Colour of money" stay away from this,snooker action is terrible on so many levels,final frame action looks cgi,main character never held a cue in his life.Rest of story is rushed and predictable,never felt anything for character,movie is trying to be 3 different things,pick one and stay with it.
