Broke and with a famiIy to support, charter-boat skipper Harry Morgan (Johnny GarfieId) makes a desperate gamble. For cash that wiII save his boat from creditors, he ferries gangsters to safety after a racing-track heist. But when you gambIe, sometimes you Iose. Tense and sinewy, The Breaking Point is a more faithfuI adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not" than the earIier Bogart-BacaIl classic. GarfieId, one of the screen's great antiheroes, makes Morgan his own in a rugged portrayal etched with anguish. Director MichaeI Curtiz (CasabIanca), who guided Garfield to instant stardom in Four Daughters, turns the action scenes into movie dynamite, but the fiIm's quiet finaI image is the one that wilI haunt you. |
