Review of Point Blank (1967) by Brad G — 09 Feb 2012
KLACK KLACK KLACK KLACK KLACK. That's the spit-shined sound of doom coming to wrap you on the face with the butt of its gun. Lee Marvin as the wronged gangster Walker is an unstoppable force. Double-crossers John Vernon and Sharon Acker never had a chance after they stole the loot and left Marvin for dead.
..but someone's gotta pay. Point Blank is not only Marvin's masterpiece, but also stylishly insane director John Boorman's; possibly the greatest story of dirty money vengeance and based on Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake)'s brutal novel The Hunter.
