Boiling Point (I) (1993)
5/10
typical crime drama with nothing memorable
29 July 2007
this movie is a so so crime drama.i mean it's not really awful,but it is awfully slow and not really memorable.this movie has been done before,it just had a different title with(maybe)different actors,and the same characters but with different names.Wesley Snipes is Jimmy Mercer, an undercover treasury agent who's good friend/work colleague has been killed during an undercover operation.naturally Mercer vows to catch the bad guys.Dan Hedaya is Brady,Mercer's partner.also in the movie are Dennis Hopper,(you can probably guess what role he plays),Viggo Mortensen,Tobin Bell,Paul Gleason,Christine Elise,Johnathon Banks,Lolita Davidovich and Valerie Perrine and Tony Lo Bianco.the people who really impressed me were Valerie Perrine and Dan Hedaya and Paul Gleason.the rest of the cast is all okay,but doesn't really stand out.the movie is just only 92 minutes,but it feels way longer.i just thought it took too long for things to get rolling.and like i mentioned,the movie is not original.the only thing i really like about was is the music,especially the big band stuff.otherwise,it's your stand crime drama,better than some,not as good as others.for me,"Boiling point" is a 5/10
