Pretty Good

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Point Blank is a decent action thriller. It's thrilling, action scenes look good and the main character is easy to root for. The cinematography is also very nice. More artistic than in most action movies, and very nice colours. But while it all clicks it doesn't really stand out from the typical action movies. So in short, it's alright. If you like action movies, it's worth seeing, but if you'd like to see something different, then maybe this movie isn't for you.

This small French thriller has somehow not been recognized for what it is: A superb romantic thriller with a ticking "clock" that will keep you on the edge of your couch or chair since it's long gone from whatever theatrical release it got in USA. It's as good as 95% of the studio "thrillers" released the past 10-20 years with big names attached. One becomes jaded with the excessive CGI and loud sound tracks and remakes we get fed every year. So when something original, not over the top but steeped in story and simplicity arrives...Well then count our lucky stars. It's a rare treat. Go find this gem (Neflix is streaming it) and see what film making is all about: writing, casting, production values and DIRECTING!

I discovered this thriller ordering some good DVDs on Amazon. I thought it must not be bad with 4.5/5 stars and rating of 6.8 out 10 on IMDb. Then the running time with 80 minutes is not so long. In fact I wasn't disappointed and I spent with my wife an entertaining evening. All the actors and the director did a good job here. Some scenes were perhaps too violent and one or two sequences not very clear to follow. But if you can look away from these little flaws it works for a solid action movie. It's not the one you will talk days later but it's definitely one of the better ones you can buy or rent in this genre. Just check it out. It takes you quick on a fast paced and packed cat and mouse chase. This will take your breath away. 6/10.

Samuel Pierret is a nursing assistant who saves the wrong guy -- a thief whose henchmen take Samuel's pregnant wife hostage to force him to spring their boss from the hospital.A race through the subways and streets of Paris ensues, and the body count rises.Can Samuel evade the cops and the criminal underground and deliver his beloved to safety?......at just nearly ninety minutes long, this movie doesn't give you time to catch your breath. It's as if someone has been watching those ever increasingly silly Besson produced movies, and made it realistic and plausible.It's shot well, and the cast are magnificent in their respective roles. It never gets boring, and the short running time time doesn't leave the narrative redundant.And despite the many plot twists, it's rich in its storytelling.Forget Taken 2, and see this, you'll thank yourself.
