Cliff Doerksen Chicago Reader Overwrought indie crime drama. Feb 2, 2010 Full Review Justin Chang Variety Overplotted and underwhelming. Dec 4, 2009 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter 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.

Audience Member Disappointing screenplay and predictable plot. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member bearable, but not too interesting action movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 4 stars just because i was lost who and what was blackmailing who in the movie.. by the end i figured it out Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member bearable, but not too interesting action movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Another terrible movie. Extremely depressing and just plain stupid. Not worth a rental. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 :) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
