Break Loose is a 2013 Russian crime drama film directed by Alexei Uchitel. It is based on the novella The Eight by Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin, who also appears in a cameo role in the film.

Production

Director Alexei Uchitel read Zakhar Prilepin’s novella The Eight before its publication and decided to adapt it. Although Prilepin declined to write the screenplay himself, he participated in casting discussions and contributed to details of the adaptation.

Filming took place in Kronstadt and at the Kirov Plant in Saint Petersburg. The plant’s industrial grounds provided a large, atmospheric location suitable for night shoots.

The production involved fifty real OMON officers as extras. A large crowd scene, in which OMON holds back protesters, was filmed semi-documentary style with 700 extras instructed to break through the police cordon.

Primary cinematography was done by acclaimed Russian cinematographer Yuri Klimenko, with Alexander Demyanenko operating the second camera.
