Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Oslo Jargo (Bartok Kinski) Completely average vigilante flick, following loosely in the footsteps of Death Wish (1974). The only negligible action takes place near the end, by that time, we don't care.Has reliable actors in it such as Robert Culp (The Outer Limits (1963–1965), the classic "Demon with a Glass Hand", The Greatest American Hero) as Frank Sirrianni, John Colicos (he played the Klingon Commander Kor in Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy" (1967), Battlestar Galactica) as Vincent Karbone, Belinda J. Montgomery (Doogie Howser, M.D.) and Bo Svenson (Walking Tall, Part 2, The Inglorious Bastards).Also recommended: Vigilante (1983) Death Wish II (1982) Rolling Thunder (1977)

znowhite01 Breaking Point: Bob Clark's lost vigilante epic finally gets a shameful full frame release from the ornery bastards at Fox, most likely in an attempt to cash in on the man's fatal car wreck. Bo Svenson, a full and lanky vertical 7'8", is taking his stepson home from an intense sports game when he sees two gangsters beating a poor man right outside his home. He interferes like a true neighbor would, bludgeoning the attackers with his gargantuan fists. Predictably, after the Bo's testimony, the mob sends out torpedoes to rub him out in some truly baffling hit-man reasoning and logic like throwing a Molotov cocktail at a man standing right next to a river. There's nothing here that distinguishes itself from any other Death Wish clone or Walking Tall entry, with minuscule action scenes peppered throughout the final third. If you're lucky enough to stay awake that long, you'll be treated to a magnum facial, a 2x4 used as a spear and Svenson flipping a house over a cliff. Robert Culp plays a weary police officer that's half Boggs and half, well, nothing. Love the music credit which actually lists a computer for the synthetic score!

jrushrd Not too bad not too good. Bo Svenson is cool but the "action" is pretty cheesy and the bad guys are sappy. I don't know whether a lot of what I found to be humorous about the movie was meant to be funny... but what the heck. Svenson's character outsmarts his pursuers with a number of neat tricks, like pretending his finger is a gun even though he is carrying a gun. I love the fact that Svenson pushes a house over a cliff and the house explodes when it hits the ground... great stuff. There is also a nice Malatov cocktail incident that results is a gratuitous flaming man stunt and one of the weakest car chases ever. I recommend this movie if you are a fan of 70's action and are in the mood for a good laugh.

William Bo Svenson witness a beating, which turned into a murder and now he is in the witness protection program headed by Robert Culp. He was "tricked" into testify against John Colicos's oganization, which backfires when the system fails and now Colicos wants Svenson dead. Good action at times, sloppy editing (one scene we have Svenson leaving, then quickly cuts to a middle of a car chase), cheap but a early (for its time) electronic syntherizer music, and the film has that slow Canadian 70's film feel to it that sort of put you to sleep. Supporting cast like Stephen Young or even Culp has little to do, and minus one sort of rape scene with nudity, and some foul language, the film is easy to cut for T.V, as the violence is rather mild. This movie actually opened wide for 20th century fox, but is not on video (except Canada), but seems to be a cable classic recently. Being a Svenson fan, it's great to see the film again, but something tells me the film was originally longer. I think its Svensons BEST non "Walking Tall" film, and Svenson does pick up a Bufford Pusser 2x4 wood as he hits one of the bad guy behind the tent in the last 10 minutes. Recommened to 70's action fans. And for a panavision film, the director didnt utilize the format well, as practically every shot is kept in the middle, as to not lose any image when viewed on TV!!
