Critic Reviews

Consequence of Sound Blake Goble

Jul 12, 2019

As a narrative, Point Blank’s like a screenplay slammed to the ground, shot repeatedly, and re-assembled with scotch tape and vending machine stickers (likely White Snake band logo iron-ons). It’s flashy. As far as action flicks go, Point Blank’s cool with its low IQ because it’s having fun throwing ‘bows to loud music. It knows what it is. Read full review

Point Blank's production bones are solid and the action itself is clear and capable, but the story is woefully past its expiration date and the attempt to tether it back to the types of "action movies we grew up with" falls flat. Read full review

The A.V. Club Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

This one feels one-size-fits-all—which is to say, it isn’t especially tailored to either of its stars. It just sort of hangs on them, getting more and more tattered as it goes along. Read full review

The first half of Point Blank moves and hums. And then it stops moving. A movie that needs to fly from first frame to last slows down, loses its momentum, and never recovers, limping across the finish line with a climax that doesn’t work. Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

Jul 12, 2019

Its undemanding nature and flat aesthetic making it an adequate background watch at best. Yet there’s also just enough here to make me wish it had been that bit better, a serviceable watch with a frustrating throughline teasing what could have been. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jul 15, 2019

The tone of what feels, for its first half hour, like a solid action picture, feels off the moment the zingers start-flying. Read full review

If anything, the film emanates a startling ineptitude, unable as it is to clear some basic standards of craftsmanship. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplemente aburrida, un refrito sin razon de existir y no vale la pena.
Desde que empezo ua sabia como seria su "climax" y final, no tiene ningun giri de la trama.
Una completa mierda… Expand
