Nick Schager

Though Point Blank is rife with existential malaise, it is also one of the most ferociously sexy crime movies ever made. Read full review

Keith Phipps

Point Blank smartly joins film-noir elements with techniques from the then-cresting British, French, and Italian new waves. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

An intriguing, disorientating 60s artefact. Read full review

Philip French

Andrew Sarris

Point Blank never makes too much sense. But the forward momentum of Lee Marvin's mysterious vendetta against the skyscraper underworld manages to overcome Boorman's laborious exposition. [19 Oct 1967, p.31]
