Watch Breaking Point For Free

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I'm not a big fan of the extent to which flashbacks are used in films nowadays. They have their place, but they are often overdone. Here, the flashbacks are so frequent that they're practically tripping over each other. I had difficulty figuring out what role some of the actors were playing (for example, Armand Assante was the D.A....ah, okay...glad somebody cleared that up). The director's -- Jeff Celentano -- first film project was called "dickwad"; somehow that seems appropriate.Another problem in this film is that there is no character to like and root for. Busta Rhymes is an apparent psychopathic baby killer. Tom Berenger is an addicted lawyer. Only that we hate baby killers even more than we hate guys addicted to cocaine gives one any pretense to root for one of the characters. Maybe we could root a little for the character played by Sticky Fingaz.The opening segment, where a prostitute's baby is thrown out of an upstairs apartment window is excessively brutal. Really, couldn't we do a little better than that? There was a time when I really enjoyed Tom Berenger as an actor. He hasn't aged well (age 60 when this film was shot, and it shows). Frankly, too old for the role of an attorney as portrayed in this film.Busta Rhymes as an actor? No thank you. Not ever. Never. Stick with your strength -- rap music -- at which you are very good.Armand Assante has not aged well, either. He was 59 when this was filmed, and frankly there were points at which I found him difficult to understand.Sticky Fingaz shows promise as an actor.In terms of the plot...again...very confusing at points. Perhaps the last 15-20 minutes (minus the very end) were pretty good.The one thing I thought was quite good about this film -- although it's hardly a reason one attends a movie -- the photography was gritty in a very good way.I'm sorry I wasted 97 minutes watching this.

Giving this film a 4.8 out of 362 spectators: is this some kind of bad joke?This is a good gripping thriller with good acting especially by Busta Rhymes who is really frightening in his scenes. Well done.I am not a rap fan, don't know nothing about rap, etc... don't like it too much, maybe I don't understand it, I don't know these people, so my appreciation is straightforward. Deserves a 7 minimum of minima.Well done.Giving this film a 4.8 out of 362 spectators: is this some kind of bad joke?This is a good gripping thriller with good acting especially by Busta Rhymes who is really frightening in his scenes.

I couldn't resist the thought of Busta Rhymes, Armand Assante, and Tom Berenger all acting in the same movie, so I just had to rent it.I found the plot of the film pretty confusing, so pardon me if I describe something incorrectly. Berenger plays a cocaine-addicted attorney who has a beef with the D.A., played by Assante. Busta Rhymes, meanwhile, is a tough-guy gangster who has a thug (Sticky Fingaz) that seems to be working to stop him. If I could get more specific, I would.Like I said, the plot was confusing. I didn't understand how the two stories came together, but I was interested nonetheless. The plot was compelling, and the characters made it worth watching.The acting was remarkably good. Berenger does a really great job, I cared about his character and found him the most interesting of the group. Busta turns in a very good performance as a total scumbag. He was definitely hateable. Sticky Fingaz and Armand Assante round out the main cast, with equally memorable roles.Ultimately "Breaking Point" was a bit confusing but compelling. You'll like it if you don't go in expecting too much.

I read the reviews here before renting at Redbox. Berenger hasn't always disappointed and I thought it might be worth a shot. I was wrong. I should have believed the ratings and reviews here. The only reason I didn't rate it "awful" is that the camera was on tripod and didn't jerk around. The cinematographer was able to frame some pretty scenery of New York. Other than that, I don't have a lot to offer in the way of kinds words.No story, no hook to keep you involved, a mish-mash of fade-backs that are so subtle they are confusing. To say it is clichéd would be to say it is the difference between chicken salad and chicken scratch.I don't know how it ended. I could only stand 30 minutes of it before I decided my life was draining away watching it.Stay with the Hit Movies and Top 20 at Redbox.
