Point Blank (1998)
3/10
Awful direction and editing
2 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
POINT BLANK is a what-were-they-thinking rip-off of DIE HARD, set in a shopping mall where a bunch of customers are taken hostage by a group of prisoners who have just staged a jail break. What follows is plenty of low rent action courtesy of muscle-man Mickey Rourke, who seems to be out of his skull in this movie and has very little dialogue as a result. Expect overacting villains and some of the worst direction I've ever witnessed, B-movie or otherwise; this is chock-full of very bad editing which renders the action scenes laughable and a general lack of sense and cohesion. Danny Trejo turns up and plays EXACTLY the same character as he did in CON AIR, and the sad thing is that with decent direction this could have been a treat for action fans.
