Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLee Marvin didn't think John Vernon was good for the role, as the actor "wasn't strong enough to contend with him"; and during filming, Marvin punched Vernon in the stomach during a fight scene, causing Vernon to cry out and protest that he was an actor, not a fighter. But Vernon followed it with a visibly-increased energy and anger.
- GoofsAfter Chris leaves Walker in her apartment, Reese is shown standing and staring through a large plate glass window as though he is looking outside, but the reflection of a red camera light can be seen in the glass.

Featured review
role made for the original 60s action man
This was a movie made for Marvin. Whether by design or by accident it matters not, this was the perfect vehicle for probably the only authentic believable actor as well qualified to play this type of screen role. Marvin looked like your average definition of a gangster, thug,slick operator, tough guy call it what you will and had the physique, persona, acting skills etc to carry the role and excel in it. Marvin acted above himself in this movie as he did in The Killers several years prior & reunited with Dickinson in the process something that added a special thread throughout the movie.There was sadly not enough of these types of roles to enable Marvin to display his obvious talent in portraying these types of screen characters but there was just enough to wet our apetite for more. Point Blank was probably the pick of them before Marvins career sidetracked to other areas which to my mind while it may have added to his body of work did not amply display to us the full talents of this contemporary one off actor the like of which I sadly fear we will never be fortunate enough to see again. That being said the movie was also notable for many other brilliant performances principally Lloyd Bochner, Carol O,connor & John Vernon who also possessed some of the qualities attributed to Marvin although not on the same scale or intensity.All In all a movie worth watching for a number of reasons. Lee we miss you. Heaven must be a gass with you & cassavetes steve Mcqueen etc.
