Even a fine cast can't do much to breathe life into this thin gangster piece. Dennis Hopper stars as a pathetic small-timer trying to get ahead with one final score.

The bad guys don't take him seriously, a cop (Wesley Snipes) is content to mow him down if necessary, and a woman (Lolita Davidovich) who cares about him just wants him to settle down. Director James B. Harris has the raw elements of a middling film noir in front of him, but he can't even link up the pieces enough to make Snipes and Hopper appear to be in the same movie. The DVD release has a full-screen presentation, Dolby sound, and closed captioning. --Tom Keogh

Fairly amusing cop film with snipes and hopper. def worth a watch n was only £2
Not the best Snipes film ever made but a decent enough movie. It was mix of action with a couple love stories tied into it as well. There was nothing really special about this film so I wouldn't recommend it. To sum it up in one word, average.
I want another movie with the same title. Wich I want its form Takeshi Kitano
"Now muthafucka!" Snipes, Hopper, Mortensen, what's not to like? Aside from being made 15 years ago it's funny stupid good.
C'est bien sans plus, l'extreme limite elle est pas trop éraflée quand même, ça reste un peu trop sage tout ça. Par contre le film nous expose des persos pas commun, Dennis Hopper parfait en escroc minable, Wesley aussi en pere de famille raté,...

Par contre le film nous expose des persos pas commun, Dennis Hopper parfait en escroc minable, Wesley aussi en pere de famille raté, et puis piece maitresse il y a VIGGO MORTENSEN QUI BUTE LES MECS AU CANON SCIé ET LEUR ROULE SUR LA GUEULE APRES, VIGGO TOUT JEUNOT ET DEJA PLEIN DE TALENT!
movie was marketed as an action movie but should have been a crime thriller but warner bros. changed it up so they could make more money due to the success of passenger 57. I Could see the directors cut being alot better. Wesley Snipes, Viggo Mortens...

Dennis Hopper was great, but the rest of the movie was pretty underwhelming. Some good tension build-up, but ultimately falls flat on its face more often than it stays standing.
Takeshi Kitano's Boiling Point is really great. I've never seen this nonsense.
Heard alot about this one and I started to look for it. I found it, watched it and loved it. There wasn't as much action as I hoping for, but the acting made up for it.
