Promoted like an action movie, but there's one problem -- this movie has no action!
New Times
Rating: 0/4 --
So slow-moving and lacking in excitement that it's torture to sit through.

...Takeshi Kitano is one of the most exciting directors to emerge in international cinema in this decade...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Surprisingly tepid, especially considering the flick's title.
eFilmCritic.com
The actors find themselves in the service of a lamely plotted and colorless screenplay, with Harris failing at his efforts to write the kind of pungent talk turned out by Richard Price.

Hartford Courant
Though it is being sold as if it's a sequel to Wesley Snipes' Passenger 57, Boiling Point never percolates. In fact, it hardly works its temperature up to tepid.

Product Description:
In Takeshi Kitano's quirky second film, Masaki (Masahiko Ono), a quiet baseball-playing gas station attendant, runs into trouble with the local yakuza. Masaki's baseball coach, Iguchi (Takahito Iguchi), turns out to be a former yakuza and attempts to straighten out the situation but only winds up making things worse. In order to stand up for himself, Masaki, along with his friend Kazuo (Minoru Iizuka), heads to Okinawa to buy a gun. There the two encounter tough guy Uehara (Kitano, acting under his alias, Beat Takeshi) and his all-too-loyal henchman, Tamagi (Katsuo Tokashiki), who are both in trouble with the yakuza as well. After various odd incidents, Uehara helps Masaki and Kazuo acquire a gun. When they attempt to use the weapon, however, the result sets the groundwork for an explosive climax.
