The Turning Point is a simple, endearing movie with a strong finish and perhaps a little more to it in the end than you expect.

Rated: 8/10

There is dignity and no disgrace in losing to the gamesmanship of a film like The Turning Point.

This is an unusual mix of a crime thriller and a buddy movie that mostly works.

Rated: 3/5

All in all, The Turning Point is a film about friendship, and how the best ones are often found in the most unlikely of places.

Rated: 4/5

The Turning Point is an agreeably watchable 95 minutes, which is far more than can be said about many, many movies.

A sort of comedy crime drama that manages to build some tension with enough interest in the main characters to keep you watching. Good stuff from the main character playing the thief. Also managing to pull off a satisfying ending that leaves the film feeling more worthwhile than it seems it may be from the very start.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

An unexpectedly touching film, it's also edgy with its moments of crime thriller too. Shot wonderfully and had a good ending. Far from a cliche film. I loved it

Far more endearing than I thought it was going tone. The beautiful music surrounding the film makes it even more enjoyable.

Excellent Italian movie. I did not expect much when I started watching it, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Great acting, plot, and storyline. It's entertaining and full of twists and turns till the end.
