Audience Reviews for Boiling Point

  • Dec 18, 2010
    It's a fun movie and has some pretty cool moments including the Principal from Breakfast Club getting shotgunned in the face and run over twice by a deranged Viggo Mortensen. However, this really suffers from not knowing who their main character is. Wesley Snipes is definitely marketed as the good guy action hero, but it's almost as if there is just as much time spent humanizing Dennis Hopper. It just makes the movie feel uneven when it could have been a really straightforward action extravaganza.

    A unremarkable movie. Cops bend the rules a bit to catch the bad guy.
    Red L Super Reviewer
  • Feb 28, 2007
    Utterly run-of-the-mill action/crime drama that's very low on ideas or invention of any kind. Completely forgettable.

    Average action of Wesley Snipes I ever watched.
