kosmasp Even Busta Rhymes actually fits the bill. It's not just a rapper in costume, he actually has something to do. Mr. Fingaz (from Onyx fame, if anybody remembers) is not as good, but holds his own. Of course you also get "real" actors in it. One of them being Berenger. And while he is bloated (weight wise), he still has some charisma left to hold and star in a movie.Don't get me wrong this isn't great by far, but it is really entertaining with some nice action scenes and a story that might be trying too hard, but still has some punches left. Armand Assante is almost theatrical (especially towards the end), but he works too. If you like these sort of movies, you might be enticed to watch it

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.

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.

fallguy_jack I don't know why this is rated so low. True it's closer to 7 than 8, but come on, how amazing a movie did people expect from Berenger and Busta? 7 out of 10 is a huge accomplishment for them, so I say 8.That said, they actually may have given their best performances ever in this film. Somehow Assante was at the lower end of the performance calibre. He does alright I guess, but it's Armand Assante, decent is his minimum. Sticky Fingaz is pretty decent too.I can't stress enough the amazing job old Tom Berenger comes up with, I assume good direction helped, but you really feel for his character, just as on the flip side, Busta Rhymes does a bang up job getting you to hate his character, I wanted to end him seconds into his appearance, and more every second thereafter.The story and direction etc are all decent, certainly above average compared to what one would expect.It's only fair to note that towards the end of the movie, the quality declines a bit, I guess they spent too much time making the rest of it as good as they could, and they had to rush. Whatever, I was pleasantly surprised, I enjoyed the movie for the most part, you probably will too.
