Los Angeles, April 1 (IANS) The 'Star Wars' actor John Boyega has recalled being "blown away" by the script for his social injustice bank heist film 'Breaking'.The actor played real-life depressed US Marine Corps veteran Brian Brown-Easley in the 2022 movie, who calmly walked into a Wells Fargo branch in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2017, reports 'Female First UK'.He then threatened to set off the bomb that he claimed was in his backpack unless he was paid $892. He was owed in disability benefits that had been brutally cut off in a bureaucratic move which plunged him into poverty.Boyega told NME about loving the script, co-written by the film's first-time feature director Abi Damaris Corbin with British dramatist Kwame Kwei-Armah: "I read it; I was blown away by it. I read it as if I was watching the movie. I liked the complication and the duality of his character. So much going on: the PTSD he's going through; not having access to his daughter."'Female First UK' further states that Boyega also loved that Easley was a movie and comics nerd, and was jokey and gentle - completely at odds with the man trying to pull off his desperately sad bank heist.Easley was shot in the head with a single bullet by Cobb County Police Department Officer Dennis Ponte, a sniper on the force with a military past. He had been hiding in the woods and had let his commanders know he had a clean shot.
