This was a masterful performance by John Boyega. It is very nuanced and complex. This film could easily have disintegrated into histrionics of a long hostage siege in the bank, but it doesn't.
It's tense and thoughtful through-out - more so the relationship between Boyega and the two bank tellers, and between Boyega and his wife and daughter.
His acting gives a very strong feeling of an individual who has been forced into a position he does not really want to be in - but was propelled there by long frustrations with veteran's affairs and the bureaucracy. This is a very strong character film. If you are looking for sustained, loud action scenes, do not watch this.
