Bob_the_Hobo 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.

unemployedvirgin Just watched Breaking Point, and i have to say its a great movie. It really grabs your attention from the start, making the viewer feel involved in the storyline. I love a film that makes you hang on the actor/s every word when trying to grasp the situation. Also, i was impressed with the acting of both rappers Busta rhymes and Sticky Fingaz. Busta was actually a very good villain in this picture. All the actors proved very sincere and honest.Another plus is the way the story is interconnected between characters, which never leaves a boring dull moment. Which is why i am disappointed that this film was given such a low rating. I even made this account just now to write my review on it :)Oh and not to forget...the composer and music soundtrack should really get a lot of the credit. If your a Scorsese buff like me who appreciates the right sound for the right visual. This is definitely worth the time to watch. Conclusion:No cheesy comedy included (thank you Mr. director) Musetta Vander was beautiful, Craig muMs Grant (who was Poet in the prison drama Oz) was a nice added touch and Armand Assante had a somewhat "Al Pacino" quality in his performance.That's All Folks!!! If your into crime thrillers that involve some law enforcement mixed with psychological game play; this is definitely a treat

Surfin_San_Diego 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. The rest of them are bombs waiting to go off in your DVD player.

amj_agn I was not impressed with this movie. If a movie doesn't catch my attention in the first 30 minutes I won't watch the rest. It started out violent and I had no idea what the plot even was. All I saw was violence, murder, and drug abuse but no real substance. I didn't finish it. Even the people I was watching it with didn't get the point of the movie either. I was expecting something great out of it though the actors in the film were not names which with I was familiar. Fighting for truth and justice are good causes, but I only saw that in the plot synopsis. I guess it takes a while into the movie to finally get the idea that is what is going on.
