Point Blank: Cuenta atrás

With a few tweaks this film could be massively improved, sure it's the predictable unlikely buddy action movie, but that's ok it's a formula that has worked many times.. the two big issues here are the soundtrack and the editing.. a re-edit and for the large part an entirely new soundtrack it's a 7.

It's not amazingly complex but it's a film that you can just switch off your brain and enjoy some action, had a 90s vibe to it, I don't know what people are complaining about the sound track for, I actually thought it made the film better, I agree that some are odd choices but they kinda make it quirky, solid 6.5/10 for me.

This is what I'd call a fast paced mess. The problems begin with a vague murder of a DA and dirty cops. If you're thinking unoriginal you're right. All chances to make it the least bit compelling are never addressed. There's absolutely no character development as if that isn't important either. It comes down to a young internist doctor trying to save his hostage pregnant wife. The many holes are ignored about as expected. The action can't even make this film work. I'd say don't waste your time....move along.

This movive reminds me of the 2004 flick Cellular.. it's action packed, brainless fun! Is it groundbreaking? No. Is the plot deep and thick with twists? Not at all. Yet, it's a great way to kill an hour and a half with enjoyable action, cool chases, a dose of humour mixed in that isn't forced like it is in alot of movies and shows these days. It's just a straight to the point good time! I'd recommend it to anyone looking to just kill a bit of time and have some fun in the process :)

I miss a time when you could look up a review for a movie, and read reviews from fans of that genre. Seems IMDB is no longer a place for that.

The plot was nothing mind blowing, but the action was constant, and the well-performed characters were good. I enjoyed it throughout. Why? Because I like action films. If you do too, and you can put your rational, sensible side away for 90 minutes, then you're going to enjoy Point Blank.

All in all this is a great action movie that harks back to the 90's "best of enemies", "victims of circumstance" romps with bullets and snot, and a heap of smashing stuff up.
