Berenger uses his weathered visage and trademark intensity to good effect, but his efforts are undercut by the overwhelmingly cliched script.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Overwrought indie crime drama.

FULL REVIEW
20
After a particularly brutal, attention-grabbing start, Breaking Point quickly devolves into a flavorless stew of murder, corruption, blackmail and baby tossing.
By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW
