The Turning Point is a simple, endearing movie with a strong finish and perhaps a little more to it in the end than you expect.

There is dignity and no disgrace in losing to the gamesmanship of a film like The Turning Point.

This is an unusual mix of a crime thriller and a buddy movie that mostly works.

All in all, The Turning Point is a film about friendship, and how the best ones are often found in the most unlikely of places.

The Turning Point is an agreeably watchable 95 minutes, which is far more than can be said about many, many movies.

A compelling unapologetic study & bonding of two relatable misfits on the run: one from himself, the other from the Mob. Kudos especially to the script writer, director, and the two young leads.

Far more endearing than I thought it was going tone. The beautiful music surrounding the film makes it even more enjoyable.
