Movie Reviews of Point Blank
Movie Review: "You're a very bad man Walker, a very destructive man..."
Summary: 5 Stars
It is ABOUT TIME this movie became available on DVD. Now all they have to do is get Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid on DVD and all will be right in the world. Well, that, and throwing Bush out of office.
Stylish, tough, almost too-hip film from 1967 with Lee Marvin doing what he does best, plus this movie offers a rare time capsule-style glimpse into a bachelor pad penthouse apartment of the era, that of the late John "Dean Wormer" Vernon's character Reese. Definitely a case study in how not to decorate. Also look for Keenan Wynn and James B. Sikking, not to mention Carol O'Connor who nearly steals the end of the movie as Brewster. Pick it up. Do it.
Movie Review: "I want my money"
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this movie a month and a half ago. What an amazing movie. The whole cast was good especially Marvin and Angie Dickinson. Can you believe this movie bombed when it was released in the summer of 1967? Hard to believe that this is a fast movie (92 minutes) and by the time the movie neared its end it reminded me of a movie that I recently saw and that is the David Cromberg film "A History of Violence". Speaking of movies I think "Point Blank" is the most important movie of the 1960's because it was the inspiration for other shoot-them-up movies that would come out in the years to come including "Bullitt", "Dirty Harry", "Get Carter", and "Death Wish".Movie Review: The Great Boorman and Marvin at Their Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Point Blank is a hard-edged existential classic reflecting the talents of two very intelligent creative artists: John Boorman and Lee Marvin. It is amazing that a major studio like MGM allowed such a hard-boiled and somewhat challenging story presentation without the usual meddling for commercialism and political correctness (though the term PC hadn't been invented in 1967). A perfect meshing of style, plot, acting. Ex-USMC leatherneck Marvin is the real deal. Angie Dickinson is still at her prime and you can see why Jack and Bobby Kennedy, among notable others, had the hots for her. Influential and worth repeated viewings.Movie Review: Lee Marvin's Best Film on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Lee Marvin movie because the tough-guy acting is great and the visuals and film techniques are before its time. This movie is violent even by today's standards and the DVD has a clear picture, great sound and is in wide-screen. The commentary by John Boorman and Steve Soderbergh is great on explaining each scene and how it came about. I liked the Mel Gibson remake, although I feel Lee Marvin is the better actor for this role because he looks and feels like a killer. My other favorite Lee Marvin movie is Hell in the Pacific, also directed by Boorman.Movie Review: Gritty film....love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this last night and I love these kind of films.Tough talk,double crosses,action.For those of you who wondered how Lee Marvin's character got himself fixed after he had been shot,then just assume that he went to the hospital because if they showed everything,then the movie would've been over 2 hours long.This is one Lee Marvin's best roles that can stand next to Cat Ballou and Who Shot Liberty Valence.They don't make tough guys like Lee Marvin anymore and he was one of the best.Plus,a great comedian,too.Great cast..
