Overplotted and underwhelming.
Variety

From its generic title to its overly familiar plot line to its B-list cast, Breaking Point has the feel of a late-night entry on Cinemax, which no doubt will be its fate sooner rather than later.

Rating: 0/5 -- Both visually and emotionally ugly from start to finish, this empty crime thriller doesn't have a moment that's genuinely worth watching. Full Review

Overwrought indie crime drama. Full Review

[D]irector Jeff Celentano keeps things moving at a decent clip....It's also a good-looking film, fluidly shot by Emmanuel Vouniozos...

There isn't any cliché that writer Vincent Campanella and director Jeff Celentano don't treat with stoic reverence. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The whole production feels like a rejected Law & Order spec script writ (slightly) larger. Full Review
Time Out
Dec 2, 2009
Rating: 2.5/5 -- After a particularly brutal, attention-grabbing start, Breaking Point quickly devolves into a flavorless stew of murder, corruption, blackmail and baby tossing.

Product Description:

A disgraced criminal defense attorney uncovers evidence of corruption within the police department while attempting a career comeback in this crime drama from director Jeff Celentano (UNDER THE HULA MOON, SAY IT IN RUSSIAN). Before his career was sidelined by drug addiction and a family tragedy, Steven Luisi (Tom Berenger) defended some of the worst criminals in the city. These days he's sober and determined to get his career back on track. When Luisi catches wind of a sordid, well-publicized murder case, he decides to pursue it despite the knowledge that it may steer him down a dark path. Before long Luisi has formed a partnership with Richard "Beanz" Allen (Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones). A former star athlete who has since fallen back to the streets, Beanz has all the dirt on local drug dealer/gang leader Al Bowen (Busta Rhymes). But in order to bring Bowen to justice and expose his connection to the police department, Luisi will have to open himself up to some intense scrutiny. As the stakes get higher, Luisi and his unlikely ally take their fight for truth and justice from the streets to the courtroom.
