Point Blank

1967 · 92 min

A cold, disorienting neo-noir that feels like a fever dream of revenge, with a stoic antihero and a fragmented timeline that demands close attention.

Directed by: John Boorman

Tagline: There are two kinds of people in his up-tight world: his victims and his women. And sometimes you can't tell them apart.
Overview: After being double-crossed and left for dead, a mysterious man named Walker single-mindedly tries to retrieve the rather inconsequential sum of money that was stolen from him.
