Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

timcurryis god The Break is a murder mystery set in a small European village. As the mystery unfolds, it seems the suspect is easily found, but as the investigation goes deeper, a entire web of deceit is unfolded and almost no one in the village is free from suspicion. SPOILER ALERT: Character development & plot******************** * * * this begins to have an effect on Inspector Peeters' (the main character) sanity. The mystery is finally revealed and it's truly surprising; a very satisfying and suspenseful murder mystery.

micke-bystrom I love well told TV-series with some depth, shock or excitement, but this shallow depiction of the citizens of Heiderfeld doesn't move me one bit nor entice me to finish this one off.Yoann Blanc plays the most interesting character (Peeters), but after three episodes I had to give up also him. Everyone else including his daughter Camille, played by Sophie Breyer, are just too boring. I mean boring in the wrong way and I have no problem with slow pacing or anything like that, but I want to be able care at all. As a viewer you just don't care about these people. I don't need to watch something I don't care to learn anything about.Overall the quality of acting is lower than expected, which I suspect stems from the director Matthieu Donck rather than a bad script necessarily. I could see this story unfolding in an interesting way that would have kept my interest. I'm dropping this one. Life's too short and there are so many more interesting stories.

Metin_7 After trying several series on Netflix that didn't appeal to me, I decided to give the recently added La Trêve ('The Break') a try.The first episode seemed like an exploration of the characters by the actors and creators, and it felt good. My curiosity was awakened and I looked forward to the next episode.La Trêve turned out to get better with every episode. The brooding atmosphere and intriguing characters started to crawl under my skin. The main actor — Yoann Blanc — established an admirable performance. His character gets more and more intense as the series progresses. But just about every actor shines in La Trêve.The story development is gripping, with several plot twists that leave the series relatively unpredictable until the end. I loved the aerial shots of the beautiful Ardennes scenery, adding a sense of mystery to the story. The atmospheric soundtrack really completes the dark, slightly surreal impression of La Trêve.What I loved most is the dark, fatalistic tone that effectively surfaces more and more throughout the series, giving you an uncanny feeling of inevitable, impending doom as Yoann gets closer to solving the murder case, unveiling the hidden, twisted secrets of several village inhabitants.If I'd have to say something negative about La Trêve, I'd reluctantly admit that some of the plot twists were a bit far-fetched. But the plot twists also kept the story thrilling.La Trêve is a fine example of what is labeled as New Belgian Noir. An interesting, dark blend of elements from Twin Peaks, True Detective and Broadchurch.

Paul Creeden I will begin by saying I was enthralled with this Belgian mystery series on Netflix. And I watch a lot of them. Yoann Blanc as Peeters rivals any of the modern detectives in his interpretation of the functional mental illness of a sincere crusader. He is the definition of quixotic. He tilts at every possible windmill in his way. It is both painful to watch and also engrossing.The small rural town in Belgium is no Miss Marple village. It is filled with demons and their hapless accomplices. This darkness amplifies the frustration and suspense. Guillaume Kerbush as Drummer plays a truly clueless Dr. Watson, who successfully takes his character from vacuous to potentially sinister. This was one of the twists I enjoyed most.Peeter's daughter Camille, played by Sophie Breyer, is a broody lesbian who neutralizes the teenage aspect of the story. Her reactions to her peers are well played and subtle. The supportive cast is evenly talented. I have to mention Alexis Julemont as Timotee, the mad Swede. He added a surreal element to the story which helps to set it apart. I would watch another season, despite some dissatisfaction with the ending of this season. The ending seemed a bit too artsy-French for a hard detective story. Perhaps it was meant as a teaser for a second season.
