Breaking Point

I don't review movies often, but I felt obligated to warn the viewing public to avoid this movie. It is so bad they put all of the credits at the beginning because they knew no one would watch until the end. This movie has all of the production value of a 70's skin flick. The acting is atrocious, the camera work nauseating and the narration is like a beatnik coffeehouse recitation of the phone book. This is bad, so bad. Save yourselves, run away!

Reflection, this is a movie that holds a mirror up to you and makes you think about your own experiences in life. Many of us have suffered loss, or live meaninglessness lives and sink into a deep depression. The cinematography and soundtrack capture this perfectly, pulling you into the mundane world of Jim Thompson. It's refreshing to see a film that take a chance on something that is different. That's what I truly enjoy about independent cinema. Watch the film with an open mind as it's isn't for everyone and watch it twice. There loads of subtleties in the shots and voice over that really click the second time around.

The Breaking Point is a film that takes you into the life of Jim. Nothing's going right for Jim and we all can relate to rough times. From beginning to end I went through so many relatable feelings he was having and left me wanting to know more. Very relatable film. Excellent film and amazing cast!
