You won't be disappointed!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Breaking Point (showed as Order of Redemption in my cable-TV) was the crime drama movie which could make everyone go to the deepest of darkness. The movie blasted viewers with violence, drugs, and especially, women's abusive which more than a half of women in the world could disgust this film. The plot is good in the side of drama, how the protagonist fight with his cruel past and the "bad bad" drug. I have to credit Tom Berenger for his performance in drama scenes. Rather than showing himself the "war-hero" as in his many films, Berenger was very good in expressing Steven Luisi a very poor character. Although, in the other part, I think he was just "an old man" with nothing special. But the things that I was very surprise is the acting of Busta Rhymes. I had to praise him for his outstanding role which could made him advances to "Hall of Shame" (Shame just means antagonists). Every time he was shown on the screen, he could make "Al Bowen" to be the "over-the-top" nasty mobster. I believe that, as long as his character exists, everyone will want to "break him into pieces". For other casts, Sticky Fingaz could made me pity with his fate. He was pretty good with the climax scene. Armand Assante is also well-done for his arrogant dubious "Marty Berlin". However, I think the film crew cannot come out right with the mix of violence and drama sides which is the drawbacks of Breaking Point. They boost too much violence only to sell bad guys' role. Another thing is that the last scene is too silly and needless. As overall, this movie is OK for shaking your heart and make you wondering "how the world is so bad", but it doesn't make me pleased as the worth- watching movie.

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 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.

There's nothing new about "Breaking Point" and, in the end, it's pretty predictable. But I'm a huge fan of both Tom Berenger and Armand Assante, two very decent actors who haven't gotten a decent film role in ages. Straight to DVD is what we mostly get from these guys (though I believe this film had a short theatrical run a month prior to it's DVD release) and they vary considerably in quality. But I was somewhat excited about "Breaking Point", despite starring Busta Rhymes.As a drama piece; you get somewhat involved into the plight of disgraced attorney Steven Luisi's (Berenger) attempt to defend an innocent man accused of murdering his girlfriend and baby. Throw into the mix a very nasty killer (Rhymes) and a dubious district attorney (Assante) and you get a fairly shallow but reasonably action packed drama piece about redemption in the face of much corruption and back stabbings.The problem here is the script relies too much on clichés. This could easily be a double episode in an above average TV legal show and in particular the bad dialog hurts the film. That said, the inevitable twist here (though fairly predictable) is reasonable enough and doesn't come completely out of left field.As for performances; Berenger has perfected his brooding skills and overall he gives a very good performance here. His character is somewhat underwritten and given a very clichéd back story. Some potentially good sequences, such as him attending a meeting discussing his drug addiction or a further flesh-out of his relationship with Musetta Vander, would have given us better insight into his character but never appear. Assante is given fairly little to do but he's always a forceful presence and manages to squeeze in a solid performance. As for Rhymes; well, he's a lot more tolerable here than in "Halloween: Resurrection", that's for sure. In fact; he's quite OK."Breaking Point" won't stay long in your memory but it's a decent enough way to spend and hour and a half. Berenger once again proves he's worthy of good roles and Assante should be given the benefit of the doubt as well.
