I thoroughly enjoyed this first season and I really hope the second is as good if not better. Break point is a solid start to introducing tennis players and the game of tennis. Their motivations, their mental and physiological struggles, the pressure. If you played tennis you will understand how the mental pressures effect you in this game. Break Point really shines in the study of the mental pressures of tennis. The cinematography is fantastic, followed by stunning footage of locations and tennis arenas around the globe, The sounds and music pull you in, making you feel immersed in the world these tennis players are in. I need to mention the sounds, wow, it really brings the excitement. Slow motion shots, with some background music, give me more. If this show maintains what it's currently doing and adds a little more about the technical side of tennis, this would be close to a 10 out of 10 for me. Solid start, hopefully they don't drop the ball. ;)
Frank Grillo is the highlight of this movie, can't fault him, great job with what he had to work with.
How do directors manage to make fast cars look like they are going slow. The race scenes between the Ferrari and Lamborghini are by far the worst filmed race scene I have seen. Who choreographed and directed that scene? Really? That's what you came up with? It's trash. Directors, take note. Go watch the opening scene to a movie called the Cannonball Run from 1981, yes that right, 1981. They made that Lamborghini look fast, sound fast, how a Lamborghini should be. To this day, that one scene is better than what you all came up with.
If your not a car enthusiast or don't care about Lamborghini this movie will bore you to death. I stayed with it because of my passion for Lamborghini and Ferrari, and the legendary story of how Lamborghini began.
It has its moments, good moments, but the badly written and horridly directed moments outweigh the good ones.
