Overwrought indie crime drama. Go to Full Review
Justin Chang Variety 12/04/2009
Overplotted and underwhelming. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 12/04/2009
From its generic title to its overly familiar plot line to its B-list cast, Breaking Point has the feel of a late-night entry on Cinemax, which no doubt will be its fate sooner rather than later. Go to Full Review

06/14/2014 Disappointing screenplay and predictable plot. See more 04/24/2013 bearable, but not too interesting action movie See more 04/23/2013 4 stars just because i was lost who and what was blackmailing who in the movie.. by the end i figured it out See more 11/27/2011 bearable, but not too interesting action movie See more 05/22/2011 Another terrible movie. Extremely depressing and just plain stupid. Not worth a rental. See more 11/17/2010 Pretty decent courtroom/crime drama with two underrated stoic actors....Tom Berenger and Armand Assante, both of whom give nice performances in their respective roles as the obvious goodie and baddie, I don't think I need to say who was who. This kind of plot and film has been done many times before and allot better than this but this is still a good film for what its worth and does give you some nice dramatic moments of emotion with tense strong scenes of violence. The film looks good and its directed well with a real sense of purpose and care with its creation, the characters are abit cliched and boring and it is kinda predictable but its still entertaining thanks to the cast doing well. Along the same lines as 'Brooklyn's Finest' in terms of looks and scope with plenty of corruption, deceit and double cross but not quite as good as the said film, worth a look if you like abit of courtroom n gangster jazz :) See more Read all reviews
