As a narrative, Point Blank’s like a screenplay slammed to the ground, shot repeatedly, and re-assembled with scotch tape and vending machine stickers (likely White Snake band logo iron-ons). It’s flashy. As far as action flicks go, Point Blank’s cool with its low IQ because it’s having fun throwing ‘bows to loud music. It knows what it is. Read full review

The first half of Point Blank moves and hums. And then it stops moving. A movie that needs to fly from first frame to last slows down, loses its momentum, and never recovers, limping across the finish line with a climax that doesn’t work. Read full review

Its undemanding nature and flat aesthetic making it an adequate background watch at best. Yet there’s also just enough here to make me wish it had been that bit better, a serviceable watch with a frustrating throughline teasing what could have been. Read full review

The tone of what feels, for its first half hour, like a solid action picture, feels off the moment the zingers start-flying. Read full review

The New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliJul 18, 2019
If anything, the film emanates a startling ineptitude, unable as it is to clear some basic standards of craftsmanship. Read full review
