Well crafted action thriller - Boiling Point review by CD
Dennis Hopper and Wesley Snipes give strong performances in this thriller. It’s a clever film in that it brings out the parallels between the hunter and the hunted in terms of their personal lives, and the way they persuade and manipulate others. The violence is quite blunt and the film has a similar feel to older style US police series such as Starsky and Hutch. It certainly has enough incident to keep the energy high and it’s well worth a watch.
