John Hawkins (David Caruso) used to be an officer in the Navy. Now, he whiles away his time in a small Alaskan fishing village. He begins an affair with Natalie Travis (Susan Haskell), the wife of local crime boss Gus Travis (Thomas Ian Griffith). Gus is abusive toward Natalie and -- as her affair with Hawkins unfolds -- she retaliates by stealing a fortune from her husband. This, however, places her new lover in grave danger, when the gangsters suspect John knows where the money is located.

Black Point isn't awful enough to incite any enthusiastic irritation, but it's also not a film you'll remember two days later.

Rated: 61/100

David Caruso's also stuck in straight-to-video garbage like Black Point when he should be calling favors for another down 'n' dirty Abel Ferrara slice of New York gutter life.

Rated: 1.5/5

By the end you won't know whether Haskell's character genuinely loves Caruso, but I'm sure you won't care.

Rated: 2/5

quite an enjoyable film actually and kept you guessing a la Jackie Brown, where the money was going to end up! You can also see, by the way he plays his character, a lot of what eventually becomes the awesome Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami as this was made before Miami started!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Gem of a role for Susan Haskell. Quite a nimble dance between two lively actors.

Fairly ordinary crime thriller but played out by a set of actors destined for great careers in television, but no higher.

Ouf! C'est là que j'ai vu que David Caruso avait tout le potentiel pour faire un bon Horatio Caine avant même de débuter! Mais à part de ça, c'est plutôt ordinaire...

An entertaining crime caper that features David Caruso expanding his range to two modes: angry and angrier. B-movie veteran Thomas Ian Griffith is the bad guy this time around, but the emphasis is on a cat-and-mouse pursuit instead of high-flying action.

Many twists and turns. Was surprised at how good it is. Susan Haskell is beautiful. Woth a watch. Nice scenery. Never know what is going to happen next. Released in 2001 but just showed up on Showtime.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
