Daily Grindhouse [MOVIE OF THE DAY!] BREAKING POINT (1976) - Daily Grindhouse

nbsp;   1976’s BREAKING POINT falls within the Bob Clark filmography during the period after BLACK CHRISTMAS and before PORKY’S.  BREAKING POINT can be loosely considered as one of those urban vigilante thrillers that were so popular in the mid- to late-1970s, exemplified by DEATH WISH and the like. In the tradition of those cheaper action titles, BREAKING POINT is rather crude and choppy. I can’t find much online about the history behind this movie, but even though it was distributed by 20th Century Fox, it feels like it was made on the quick and on the cheap, most likely to capitalize on the popularity of the genre. You wouldn’t recognize anyone in BREAKING POINT except Robert Culp, as a frustrated and rather ineffectual cop, and Bo Svenson as the lead character, a karate instructor who interrupts a violent crime, feels compelled to report it to the police, and is then targeted by the mob. He’s pretty dour and humorless in this movie, but Svenson is a really underrated presence
