Visually Pleasing but Weak Story
Breaking Point was only given a limited theater release in New York, so for all intents and purposes, it's a straight-to-DVD movie. Despite this, I thought it was much better than most dollar-rental fare.
There are two things that set this movie apart from others that don't succeed at the box office: cinematography and score. I was really surprised at how artistic scenes were framed and shot, the quality of filming locations, and the overall production quality (looks terrific on an HD screen). Director Jeff Celentano has only shot a handful of other movies whose names you wouldn't recognize, but I was impressed with the job he did on Breaking point. Add to the visuals a terrific score by composer Pinar Toprak, and you've got a movie that's a treat for the eyes and ears.
Where the movie falls flat, however, is the cliched storyline. There's really nothing original about it, it seems to cobble plot pieces from Face Off, Beyond a Resonable Doubt, and From Hell...
it was okay. That's it.
I watch any movie Tom Berenger is in, no matter the size of the role or what the plot of the movie is, because of him.
Tom Berenger Movie
Always been a fan of Tom Berenger. Appreciated the part he played and the excellent presentation of the roles played by the other actors.
