Review of Point Blank (2010) by Terry C — 18 Feb 2014

Director Fred Cavaye's Point Blank, Is A Fast, Ferocious, Tense And Gripping Thriller, Which Does Not Fail The Genre.

It's The Classic Man On The Run Story, That We May Be Sick To Death Seeing, But This Is One That Executes The Plot Excellently.

Samuel Pierret (Gilles Lellouche), Is A Trainee Nurse, Who Just So Happens To Save The Life Of Safe Cracker, Hugo Sartet (Roschdy Zem),.

When An Attempt On Sartet Life Is Made In Hospital. The Next Day His Pregnant Wife, Nadia (Elena Anaya) Is Kidnapped By A Band Of Mysterious Masked Men.

Samuel Receives A Phone Call To Get Sartet Out Of The Hospital, Before Another Attempt On His Life Occurs, And He Has 3 Hours To Get Sartet To Safety.

Hunting Samuel & Sartet Down Is Commandant Patrick Werner (Gerard Lanvin), Who Is On The Case Of The Murder Of A Wealthy Business Owner, Who Sartet Supposedly Killed.

The Film Fits Into The Thriller Genre Excellently, With It's Great Fast-Paced Gripping Introduction, Which Features Great Cinematography, Great Music And It's Great Atmosphere.

The Pace Tends To Slow Down Until The Kidnap, Which Is Done Without A Soundtrack, & Very Shaky Hand Camera Shots To Provide Realism. The Fast Pace Remains Throughout The Movie.

This Film Above Many Others & So Like Some Others Lacks In Instrumental Score Slightly Adding More Realism Throughout. With This As Well As The Great Performances From It's Main Cast,.

And Direction From Fred Cavaye, This Is One Thriller, That Real Movie Fans Will Enjoy, As It Sets The Right Atmosphere To Make A Realistic & Tense Film.
