Watch The Break

The Break is a British crime film released in 1962, directed by Lance Comfort and starring Tony Britton, William Lucas, and Eddie Byrne. The film revolves around a group of criminals who plan to rob a safe-deposit box in the bank's vault of a major bank in the West End of London. The movie begins with a conversation between two men discussing the upcoming bank heist. They discuss the number of men involved, and the plan for the robbery. They have to drill through the wall of the bank vault to access the safe-deposit box. They choose a night when there are no other workers in the bank, and the police presence is less. The team is a mixed group of experienced and amateur criminals, and they are all excited to get their hands on the money.

The movie then cuts to the inside of the bank building, and we get to see the meticulous planning of the heist. The team of criminals drills through the bank wall and, after a few attempts, gets access to the vault. They go in and start drilling the safe-deposit boxes, getting their hands on piles of cash and jewels.

Soon, the team members start getting greedy, and one of them tries to double-cross the others, thinking he can walk away with a bigger share of the loot. This leads to several problems, including the death of one of the criminals and a manhunt by the police. The remaining criminals work together to escape the police, but it's not long before the police have identified a few of them and start pursuing them.

The movie gains momentum as the criminals try to run from the police, and the chase gets tense. The criminals' personalities and motivations come to the forefront as they deal with the stress of the situation. Their relationships with each other start to fray, and they no longer feel like a cohesive team. With the police closing in, the tension becomes almost unbearable as we wait to see the final outcome of the movie.

The performances of the actors are impressive, and they do a good job of bringing their flawed characters to life. Tony Britton plays the leader of the gang, who is smart, capable, and always in control. William Lucas plays one of the team members, who becomes a wildcard when he tries to double-cross the team. Finally, Eddie Byrne plays a member of the gang who is loyal but dim-witted.

The movie is shot in black and white, which adds to its sense of gritty realism. The music score is overall effective, although some people may find it slightly dated. The pacing of the movie is good, and it manages to keep the audience engaged throughout.

Overall, The Break is an entertaining British crime movie that remains engaging even after several decades. Despite its age, it has a timeless quality to it that makes it a classic in its genre.

The Break is a 1963 crime movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.9.
