A man (Gilles Lellouche) finds himself pitted against rival gangsters and trigger-happy police in a deadly race to save the lives of his kidnapped wife and unborn child.

Even during the somewhat incredible denouement at a chaotic police station, Alain Duplantier's camerawork is so frenetic you don't have time to stop and question it.

Point Blank is saddled with the same title as John Boorman's 1967 masterpiece, but the only thing the two films really have in common is coolness.

3/5

Point Blank passes enjoyably, relentlessly, and determinedly to the moment of its final gasp.

4/5

The American action flick is a genre that will never die. But it's hard to make one that seems fresh, as filmmakers seem to stick to a winning formula. Point Blank is an invigorating exception.

"Point Blank" is loads of fun, if not exceptionally clever or original.

2/4

[Writers] Cavay and Lemans...dump all manner of double-dealing and good cop-bad cop intrigue into what could have been a wonderfully streamlined, character-driven thriller about an innocent man forced to do the bidding of criminals to save his family.

Great action with a solid story, brilliantly made by people that have the sense of timing. Nice plot twists that reminds of crazy chess games where it can go in any direction, while sticking to the rules of believability.
