Jersey City Stands in for NYC in New Independent Film ‘Breaking Point’
By Sean Allocca • Jan 19th, 2010 • Category: Arts, FeaturedActor and producer Robert Capelli Jr. is best known for his comedic work with the likes of Artie Lange in Waltzing Anna, and Danny Aiello in 2003’s Mail Order Bride. But the lifelong Hoboken resident’s newest film is a hardened look at corruption on New York City streets (even though it was shot in Jersey City).
Starring Busta Rhymes, Tom Berenger, and the late Jersey City boxing legend Arturo Gatti, most of Breaking Point was shot right here in Chilltown — and it might just mirror the city’s recent political distortion.
