If there's one thing John Boorman did at the start his career, it's push the boundaries of cinema shocking viewers in the process, as he did with Deliverance and even before that Point Blank. What does the film have going for it? It's not an overblown extravaganza, it has weight and an edge but most of all it has Lee Marvin. Marvin can do these types of ruthless tough guy roles better than the majority of actors and it's his presence that keeps this movie going and probably its only consistent factor. Point Blank is a display of all the experimental techniques of the late 60s and it's intentionally dysfunctional.
