Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

robertsanda Maddeningly pointless violence is what killed off martial arts movies in the 1980s. Bruce Lee, it cannot be argued, is the singular individual who opened our eyes to the beauty of martial arts with his movies in the early 1970s. Bruce Lee's stories, unlike those in the same genre that followed him, would have a slow build-up to a great fight towards the end of the movie. This is why his movies remain the standard of great martial arts movies to this day. The fate of subsequent generation of martial arts movies lavishly crowded with violence is now threatening Hollywood productions because of gratuitous depiction of violence.Take a step back and consider both the first and second parts of the Godfather trilogy, arguably the best storyline ever put into film! What makes The Godfather so appealing is its depiction of implied, rather than expressed, violence. Truly! The director, Francis Ford Coppola, would later disclose that he and the script writer, Mario Puzo, were under tremendous pressure from the producers of the first movie to add more violence to the script or he, Coppola, risked being fired from completing the directing the movie. Those who have read the original novel by Puzo would agree that the book on which the story was based is much more suspenseful and entertaining than the movie even with less violence.So it is that a great movie is not so much about the amount of TNT, pyrotechnics, blood and gore that are freely depicted but much more about the story of ordinary guys, in this case crooks and law enforcers, whose actions and plots are motivated by the mundane things in life that we can all relate to such as strained interpersonal relationships, debts, deadlines, job insecurity (as in the case of the two police officers in this story),etc. which make up the story - a great story, in my opinion.To me this is a great movie told with measured and tamed violence. Granted that the story it aimed to tell should have been accompanied by other parallel stories criss-crossing the main plot over an added 30 minutes or so because at approximately 90 it came up too short for a good time frame.The cast is great (Dennis Hopper, Seymour Cassel, Lolita Davidovich, Viggo Mortensen and, of course,Wesley Snipes who radically departs from the portrait of the apostle of gore like in the Blade trilogy earlier. The character played by Mr. Snipes is one we can all relate to and, thus, immerse ourselves in the story for maximum entertaining pleasure. Each one of the listed actors gave a better-than-average performance to make this movie one I expect to watch a few more times. The soundtrack is great.

disdressed12 this movie is a so so crime drama.i mean it's not really awful,but it is awfully slow and not really memorable.this movie has been done before,it just had a different title with(maybe)different actors,and the same characters but with different names.Wesley Snipes is Jimmy Mercer, an undercover treasury agent who's good friend/work colleague has been killed during an undercover operation.naturally Mercer vows to catch the bad guys.Dan Hedaya is Brady,Mercer's partner.also in the movie are Dennis Hopper,(you can probably guess what role he plays),Viggo Mortensen,Tobin Bell,Paul Gleason,Christine Elise,Johnathon Banks,Lolita Davidovich and Valerie Perrine and Tony Lo Bianco.the people who really impressed me were Valerie Perrine and Dan Hedaya and Paul Gleason.the rest of the cast is all okay,but doesn't really stand out.the movie is just only 92 minutes,but it feels way longer.i just thought it took too long for things to get rolling.and like i mentioned,the movie is not original.the only thing i really like about was is the music,especially the big band stuff.otherwise,it's your stand crime drama,better than some,not as good as others.for me,"Boiling point" is a 5/10

callanvass This is an above average Cop thriller, with fantastic performances and a story that keeps you interested. All The characters were great, and the story was pretty cool,plus Wesley Snipes is simply amazing in this!. Dennis Hopper is fantastic as the sleaze ball, and i really liked the gritty location, plus it was quite thrilling in some places!. However it does have a couple dull spots, and i felt it could have been a lot better then above average, as it didn't take advantage of it's vast potential however, it's still an above average Cop thriller that's enjoyable to watch and one that will keep you interested. Wesley Snipes is extremely charismatic and, it also had a great supporting cast as well, plus i wish Paul Gleason had more then 1 scene. Wesley and Lolita Davidovich had good chemistry together, and i thought the finale was quite exciting, plus it usually keeps you guessing, with only a few predictable moments here and there. This is an above average cop thriller, with fantastic performances, and a story that keeps you interested, and i say it's well worth the watch!. The Direction is good. James B. Harris does a good job here with good camera work, good angles and keeping the film at a pretty good pace. There is a tiny bit of blood. We get a bloody corpse, blood and quite a few bloody gunshot wounds. The Acting is awesome. Wesley Snipes is AMAZING as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, fantastic in the acting department, is very charismatic, had good chemistry with Lolita Davidovich,was quite intense, an just did an amazing job overall! (Snipes Rules!!). Dennis Hopper is fantastic as always, and is fantastic as the sleaze ball, his character is quite pathetic, but he did such a good job of portraying it, this man can play anything!, i loved him (Hopper Rules!). Lolita Davidovich is very hot and quite sexy, and did a great job here, she had good chemistry with Snipes, and did a good acting job as well, wished she had more screen time though. Viggo Mortensen is excellent as Hopper's partner, his character was very interesting, and he was quite spiffy overall, i liked him lots. Seymour Cassel and Jonathan Banks do well in there small roles. Christine Elise is extremely cute, and did fine with what she had to do, also wished she had more screen time. Paul Gleason is fantastic in his 1 scene, however he should have been used for more then that!. Dan Hedya does what he has to do adequately, and had okay chemistry with Snipes. Rest of the cast do okay. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5

monkey-man This movie was OK way better then i thought it would be but the movie still has some flaws and the movies about 2 men who just got released from jail and kill an undercover cop and his partner has a week to find them before he is transferred.The film has an all star cast full of actors and actress like The great Dennis Hopper from the great movie Rivers Edge,Wesley Snipes from the movie Blade,Lolita Davidovich,Viggo Mortensen,Seymour Cassel and Christine Elise.This film is worth the rental prise but save your money and do not buy this film unless u are a fan of Dennis Hopper or Wesley Snipes and over all this film was entertaining with some boring scenes and my rating is 5 out of ten.
