Walker (Lee Marvin) strides through Los Angeles with the steel-eyed stare of a stone-cold killer, or perhaps a ghost. Betrayed by his wife and best friend, who gun him down point-blank and leave him for dead after a successful heist, Walker blasts his way up the criminal food chain in a quest for revenge. Did he survive the shooting or return from the grave, or is it all a dying dream? The question is left in the air in John Boorman's modern film noir, a brutal revenge thriller based on Richard Stark's novel The Hunter (remade by Brian Helgeland as Payback), set in the impersonal concrete and steel canyons of Los Angeles and eerily empty cells of Alcatraz. Walker kills without remorse, guided by shadowy "informant" Keenan Wynn, whose own agenda is carefully concealed, and assisted by Angie Dickinson, as he desperately searches for someone, anyone, who can just give him his money. But if Walker is an extreme incarnation of the revenge-driven noir antihero, the modern syndicate has been transformed into a world of paper jungles and corporate businessmen, an alienating concept to the two-fisted, gun-wielding gangster. Boorman creates a hard, austere look for the film and fragments the story with flashes of painful memory, grafting the New Wave onto old genres with confidence and style. Haunting and brutal, Point Blank remains one of the most distinctive crime thrillers ever made. --Sean Axmaker
Description
They double-crossed Walker, took his $93,000 cut of the heist and left him for dead, but they didn't finish the job. Big mistake. He - someday, somehow - is going to finish them. Lee Marvin is in full antihero mode as remorseless Walker, talking the talk and walking the walk in John Boorman's (Deliverance) edgy neo-noir classic filled with imaginative New Wave style, blunt dialogue and Walker's relentless quest that, one by one, smashes into the corporate pecking order of a crime group called the Organization. Angie Dickinson plays the accomplice who uses her seductive wiles to ensnare one of Walker's prey. "I want my 93 grand," Walker growls at him. Throughout, the payoff to that demand is action that "hits like a fat slug from the .38 Lee Marvin uses as an extension of his fist" (Newsweek).

 Not my cup of tea June 19, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD based on reviews here on Amazon. I won't fault others for thier position, it's just a matter of personal taste. For me this was a big disapointment. The story leaves a lot to be desired. The character Walker (Lee Marvin) gets away with a lot of crimes he shouldn't have. The direction seemed to be a practice in doing something different, but it failed. I'm sorry I bought this DVD.
No Point & Very Blank April 8, 2006

As I recall, 1967 was not the most prolific year for movies and Point Blank,in my opinion, would be one of the worst films I have ever watched. Notwithstanding the very violent nature of the film, the acting by such notables as Lee Marvin, Carroll O'Conner and Angie Dickinson continually appear to search for conviction with their dis-jointed and nonsensical dialogue.
Flashbacks, San Quentin, the San Francisco skyline cannot save this film from the trash heap of celluloid history. If your a Lee Marvin fan, better to watch "The man who shot Libery Valance" twice, than waste your time on Point Blank. Your disposition will be better for it.

You can't beat the old ones. Watching this film you see a dozen or so others that were made from it including "Payback" starring Mel Gibson. Watch it. You won't be disappointed.

 Cool Walk December 16, 2005
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I won't go into the details other reviewers shared, but the sound of Lee Marvin's shoes touching the asphalt in the beginning of the movie is quite haunting, fascinating and original. Marvin is shown walking through the airport and even though the next scene portrays him as standing by a window and meditating in a hotel room, the sounds of his walk continues. It gives touch to the dreamy atmosphere of the whole movie.

John Boorman's "Point Blank" is a crime drama classic, with a tough guy as the hero bent on revenge (Lee Marvin playing rough and tumble Walker), beautiful women (at the time Angie Dickinson), and bad guys (Carroll O'Connor and John Vernon) who are the target of Walker's wrath. The idea is that Reece (Vernon) stole Walker's half of a heist to pay off the mob he was in debt with, and now Walker wants it back. If the lpot sounds familier it is because Mel Gibson's revenge comedy "Payback" is "Point Blank's" remake (and both were based on the book "The Hunter" by Richard Stark). But what hurts this movie is that it is told in a dream-like non-linier editing, and so sometimes you don't know what order events happen, and sometimes you wonder if Walker is just dreaming the whole thing. The acting is good. Lee Marvin can play this role in his sleep. Dickinson is alright as the dame, and Vernon and O'Connor are decent in their slezzy roles. The problem I had was the editing and narrative. I realize that "Pulp Fiction" was probably modeled somewhat on this technique, but I still didn't like it here. Sometimes the story just didn't since. It is still a good movie and shows the promise of Boorman and a break with traditional story narrative.
