You're going to have to track "Point Blank" down, but if you're looking for a real slice of what the thriller cinema perpetually promises and so rarely delivers -- pure force from up close -- it's one of the standout secrets of the year.

Put aside any hang-ups you may have about subtitles. As action flicks go, "Point Blank" is right on target.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The acting is impeccable from top to bottom, and the relentless pace keeps us from fretting about niggling defects.
