Product Description:
They double-crossed Walker took his $93000 cut of the heist and left him for dead but they didn't finish the job. Big mistake. He - someday somehow - is going to finish them. Lee Marvin is in full antihero mode as remorseless Walker talking the talk and walking the walk in John Boorman's (Deliverance) edgy neo-noir classic filled with imaginative New Wave style blunt dialogue and Walker's relentless quest that one by one smashes into the corporate pecking order of a crime group called the Organization. Angie Dickinson plays the accomplice who uses her seductive wiles to ensnare one of Walker's prey. "I want my 93 grand" Walker growls at him. Throughout the payoff to that demand is action that "hits like a fat slug from the .38 Lee Marvin uses as an extension of his fist" (Newsweek).Running Time: 92 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569674141

Walker (Lee Marvin) strides through Los Angeles with the steel-eyed stare of a stone-cold killer, or perhaps a ghost. Betrayed by his wife and best friend, who gun him down point-blank and leave him for dead after a successful heist, Walker blasts his way up the criminal food chain in a quest for revenge. Did he survive the shooting or return from the grave, or is it all a dying dream? The question is left in the air in John Boorman's modern film noir, a brutal revenge thriller based on Richard Stark's novel The Hunter (remade by Brian Helgeland as Payback), set in the impersonal concrete and steel canyons of Los Angeles and eerily empty cells of Alcatraz. Walker kills without remorse, guided by shadowy "informant" Keenan Wynn, whose own agenda is carefully concealed, and assisted by Angie Dickinson, as he desperately searches for someone, anyone, who can just give him his money. But if Walker is an extreme incarnation of the revenge-driven noir antihero, the modern syndicate has been transformed into a world of paper jungles and corporate businessmen, an alienating concept to the two-fisted, gun-wielding gangster. Boorman creates a hard, austere look for the film and fragments the story with flashes of painful memory, grafting the New Wave onto old genres with confidence and style. Haunting and brutal, Point Blank remains one of the most distinctive crime thrillers ever made. --Sean Axmaker

After reading the reviews online I purchased the video believing it would be another great performance by Lee Marvin and others.
He IS a great actor and yet, from just moments after it starts the director has him stoic, cold, acting strangely as tho in a coma, his actions in the fight scene are more like a faggot fighting for his purse instead of the man we all enjoyed in Marine/combat/fight scenes like Emporer of the North and Prime Cut ...
And the movie dragged on with bizarre directing ... Read More

"Point Blank" is an icy cold revenge thriller from 1967, heavily influenced in style by the French "New Wave". The continual jump cutting and flashbacks are confusing and the cacophonous musical score date it somewhat, but this is an entertaining film right until the very end. "Point Blank" is one of the few films to successfully create a strange world all of its own.

Released in 1967, "Point Blank" bridges the gap between the neo-noir films of the late 1950s and 1960s that mixed elements of classic noir with social conscience filmmaking and those of the 1970s, with their disillusioned protagonists and increasing explicitness. Walker (Lee Marvin) was a cool, competent crook, convinced by his old friend Mal Reese (John Vernon) to help heist money from some other crooks on Alcatraz Island. But Reese shot Walker, left him for dead, and took off with Walker's unfaithful ... Read More

....Lee Marvin at his finest....but there are so many holes in this plot it looks like swiss cheese! But in 1967 who cared! Get it for Lee's performance!
