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

In the late 60's, if you wanted an actor to play a tough, mean, angry SOB, you might be hard pressed to find someone better for the role than Lee Marvin. Directed by John Boorman, Point Blank (1967) features Marvin (The Dirty Dozen), as Walker, a hard boiled criminal with a burning desire for revenge, willing to break in half, anyone that gets in his way.
Walker, his wife Lynne (Sharon Acker), and buddy Mal Reese (John Vernon), are partners in crime. On Alcatraz island to make a ... Read More

With no prompting or knowledge of this movie, I took the plunge since I'm a fan of late 60s - 70s shows.
Given the vintage, this watch follows many of the devices of modern movies. Thus, I wasn't quite as entertained as I usually am with these types of shows. Although not a fan of too much dialogue, this film lacked the lines where they would have been useful.
The style and scenes of the era are always nice. There wasn't much wasted time on development of character, which ... Read More

POINT BLANK is one of the best cinematic representations of that stark, sun-bleached, urban mood which dominated the mid-to-late-1960s but rarely gets referred to--- people talk about "protest" and "tumult" yet rarely refer to the almost post-apocalyptic zeitgeist of the era.
The atonal score; the "echo-y" resonance of the thing; the claw-your-neck, angsty atmoshpere; the diffused lighting; that window-screen camera trick; the jazz bar; those aloof neon lights at night; even that car lot.... ... Read More

It always makes me laugh to see a well-written and fairly argued low-star review on this site get all sorts of unhelpful votes, as some of them do for this movie. The votes aren't really against the review: they're for daring to have a dissenting viewpoint. Such a crime! What is wrong with some reviewers; are their egos and self-worth so tied up in their favorite works of (someone else's) art that a viewer who doesn't like it must be showered with scorn for disagreeing with their opinion? Do they see it as ... Read More

I wanted to see this movie after all these years thinking that it was a forgotten gem. I was wrong. It should be forgotten and avoided at all cost. If I were a studio head at the time this was made and saw it in a preview before it was released, I would have told director John Boorman "to pack it up and change professions". Who would of thought that this was the same director that would go on to direct 1972's "Deliverance".
As for Lee Marvin's peformance? It is clearly his worst. All the acting ... Read More
