Point Blank
Convicted corporate criminal Howard engineers a prison break as he and a number of fellow inmates are being transferred to a new facility. The escapees storm a shopping mall and take a group of shoppers hostage (after killing many more of them) before making their demands. Only Rudy, a former mercenary and brother of one of the fugitives, can take out the criminals before more of the hostages die.
Critics Sentiment
Rudy Ray's final showdown to save his brother Howard Ray
Film copies a scene from Leon The Professional badly
The film drops from Danny Trejo's praised performance (5.5) to the heavily criticized hostage killings (3.2), a swing of 2.3 points.
Point Blank receives consistently poor reviews with most critics calling it a terrible Die Hard ripoff with bad editing, poor acting, and unnecessary violence. While some B-movie fans and Mickey Rourke devotees found redeeming qualities in Danny Trejo's performance and the action sequences, the overwhelming consensus was negative. The film's sentiment remains largely flat in the poor-to-mediocre range throughout, with the ending providing the only significant uptick as some reviewers appreciated the conclusion despite hating the journey.
