The storyline was the hook for me to seek this one out, and I was rewarded with something worth recommending. Breaking Point is not for everyone however. You need patience following this outrageous attempt by the Nazi's to gain knowledge of the pending European Allied invasion. There is very little action, and the whole thing very stage play like. A fine cat and mouse game between John Glover and Corbin Berensen is intriguing enough to overcome any story dragging. Joanna Pacula's motivation and sudden romantic interest in Berensen was never fully developed, and I found that to be the only distraction. This unusual war story is definitely worth a look. - MERK

Suspenseful, But a little boring at times.

"Breaking Point" could have been better. Corbin Bernsen plays Officer Pike. He is drugged and tortured by Nazis. The Nazis think he has information on plans for another invasion. Pike can't remember anything about this. He is also being helped by Dr. Gerber (John Glover)and Diana (Joanna Pacula) to recover from his memory loss. But Pike begins to think that Dr. Gerber has a different intention for him.
Corbin Bernsen and John Glover are very good in their roles. The movie begins to lose energy by the third act. There's no need for any gunfights. The pacing is also a problem, because some scenes go on forever.
In the end: If you are looking for a WWII drama, this is a decent choice.

This is a remake of "36 hours"

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a made for TV remake of the excellent 1965 B & W movie "36 hours". Corbin Bernsen and the rest of the cast do a reasonable job, but are really no match for the original line up of; James Garner, Rod Taylor and Eve Marie Saint. Neverless the plot of the movies are interesting in their own right. This movie has the hero, Maj. Jefferson Pike, in a position to lose the entire war for the Allied forces in Europe. Pike is kidnapped, drugged and taken to a supposedly American hospital in what is supposed to be post war Germany. Pike is then woken up, told the war is over and coerced into telling the Nazi Doctor Gerber and his Gestapo overlord, all the plans concerning the D-Day landings by allied forces in France.
