Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLee Marvin didn't think John Vernon was good for the role, as the actor "wasn't strong enough to contend with him"; and during filming, Marvin punched Vernon in the stomach during a fight scene, causing Vernon to cry out and protest that he was an actor, not a fighter. But Vernon followed it with a visibly-increased energy and anger.
- GoofsAfter Chris leaves Walker in her apartment, Reese is shown standing and staring through a large plate glass window as though he is looking outside, but the reflection of a red camera light can be seen in the glass.

Featured review
Point Blank is one of the most influential films of the 1960's
Point Blank is one of those lost gems from the 1960's. It got buried because it was released around the same time as Bonnie and Clyde. This film combines all the great elements of the American action film with flourishes of European art house cinema. John Boorman's direction is excellent, and not enough can be said about Lee Marvin's performance. This is without question one of Lee's best tough guy performances. I don't understand how the previous reviewer can say this film seems "dated" and "funny for all the wrong reasons". It is as fresh and interesting as it was back at the time of its release. Those looking for it on DVD may want to know that the widescreen format version appears on TCM occasionally. You may want to pop in a tape the next time it is on until the DVD finally comes out.
