Forced to back up himself, Reese accidentally goes over the side and plunges to his death. Startled, Walker backs up quickly still holding on to Reese behind him by the bedsheet.

He then forces the naked, bedsheet covered, Reese to the balcony saying that both will go and meet Carter together. With a gun to Reese's head, Walker persuades him to give up the names of his Organization superiors – Carter, Brewster, and Fairfax – so he can make somebody pay back his $93,000. Walker ties up some men in an apartment across from the penthouse and has a call made to police to report a robbery, creating a diversion that enables him to slip into the penthouse. Willing to help in any way, Chris agrees to a sexual tryst with Reese inside his heavily guarded penthouse apartment where she will unbolt a door for Walker. Walker approaches car dealer Stegman for information, smashing a new car and terrorizing him until Stegman says Reese is with Walker's sister-in-law, Chris.īreaking in on Chris, he learns that she despises Reese and admires Walker.

With assistance from the mysterious Yost, Walker sets out to find Reese and recover his half of the robbery: $93,000. Reese takes the money and Walker's wife, Lynne. After counting the money, Reese shoots Walker, leaving him for dead. I’d say give it a chance it’s worth a watch.Walker works with his friend Mal Reese to rob a major crime operation, ambushing the courier on deserted Alcatraz Island. Overall, Point Blank is a fun action film that has a good lead, some decent action, a simple story that works for what it is, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. My only issues were the pacing being a bit off at times, especially in the middle, and the score (which has its good moments) gets very distracting during certain scenes, but that’s it. The story is basically Die Hard in a mall, but that didn’t bother me at all, as I’ve enjoyed quite a few of The Die Hard Knockoffs. There are some entertaining set-pieces, with the highlight being a fight between Rourke and Danny Trejo which was a lot of fun to watch. The cast is pretty impressive for the most part, particularly Mickey Rourke there’s plenty of recognizable faces in here like Paul- Ben Victor who you’ll recognize from True Romance, Daredevil, and many others just to name a few. Review: Here’s one I had never heard of until just a few weeks ago, but it peeked my interest cause of the cast, so I decided to check it out.Īnd now that I did, I gotta say, this is a pretty decent action flick overall.
Only Rudy, a former mercenary and brother of one of the fugitives, can take out the criminals before more of the hostages die. The escapees storm a shopping mall and take a group of shoppers hostage (after killing many more of them) before making their demands. Plot: Convicted corporate criminal Howard engineers a prison break as he and a number of fellow inmates are being transferred to a new facility. Point Blank may be another Die Hard clone but Mickey Rourke makes anything watchable and there’s enough action to keep genre fans happy.
