Synopsis:

Breaking Point is a dramatic tale of corruption and self-realization, in which one man has to overcome a deep seeded conspiracy and his own lingering past in order to gain the redemption he desires. Steven Luisi (Tom Berenger), a once prominent criminal defense attorney is attempting to come back to the profession after a struggle with drug addiction and a family tragedy. Steven stumbles into a complex, high profile murder case. Against his better judgment, he takes on the case that will eventually lead him down a path that brings him face to face with his own demons. While trying to solve the case Steven teams up with an ex-athlete turned gang member, Richard 'Beanz' Allen. The two develop a fast friendship. Together they seek to reveal the truth and bring about justice in the court and on the street. Steven and Allen go head to head with the murderous Bowen (Busta Rhymes), a vicious Gang leader and Steven's old drug dealer. With Allen's help, Steven discovers that there are deep connections between Bowen, himself, and a corrupt police department. Throughout his journey, Steven learns more about the truth, and about himself. Allen and Steven discover that their common mission is the pursuit of redemption.

After a particularly brutal, attention-grabbing start, 'Breaking Point' quickly devolves into a stew of murder, corruption, blackmail and baby tossing. Pushing feebly against this tide of toxicity is Steven Luisi (Tom Berenger), a ravaged defense lawyer with a tragic past and a future sponsored by Narcotics Anonymous. When his investigation into a high-profile murder is roadblocked by a psychopathic drug dealer (Busta Rhymes) and a dirty prosecutor (Armand Assante, in full glower), Luisi turns for assistance to his legal opponent and torch-carrying former fiancée (Musetta Vander). Unfortunately, by this point he's so haunted that he needs an exorcist more than he needs a lover. In a lather of fancy framing and arty points of view, the director, Jeff Celentano, blows smoke - literally - on performances of astonishing solemnity.

BREAKING POINT is an action-filled dramatic tale of corruption and power, in which one man must overcome a deep-seated conspiracy and his own dark past in order to gain the redemption he deserves.
