"Boiling Point" is a 1993 action-thriller film written and directed by James B. Harris, and starring Wesley Snipes and Dennis Hopper.

Synopsis

This film opens with police officer Jimmy Mercer (Wesley Snipes) and his partner (Dan Hedaya) doing some undercover work, when Mercer's partner is shot and killed by a new man (Viggo Mortensen) that criminal Red Diamond (Dennis Hopper) pulled out of jail. Now on a snap of anger and thoughts of revenge, Mercer wants to find the killer and take him down before he gets transferred to another precinct. Although a cop and close colleague claims over dinner that Mercer must do it "by the book," Mercer replies that "when I'm done with this fucker, I'm gonna put his head in a box--by the book."

Red continues to try to go on a relationship with one of his old girlfriends but is shot-down. Through explosions and action, Mercer's temper rises with the suspense.

At a club which Mercer is at(at the same time as Mortensen and Hopper), Diamond's new man pulls-out his gun on the 2nd floor, to which Mercer quickly reacts by unloading all six rounds of his snubnose .38 into Mortensen. Red is arrested. Justice is served.
