Killpoint is another film that earns it's place in the sick category, or like a film, whose story lost it's way, like Hollywood Cop. In that Cameron Mitchell was a cranky cop (a good guy). In this, animal lover that I am, he's one sick, unhinged, son of a bitch, who deals in stolen arms. One senseless scene has his black partner shoot up a room of people. A separate incident, where an Asian cop's wife and child were killed, the same gun was used in that massacre. The wife was initially raped, and being a cop (Leo Fong) we know it's personal. Working with an another L.A. cop, (Richard Roundtree, before his Seven days) wasted in this amateur scripted dribble, they soon find the source of the heavy artillery and begin to close in on these bad as...s. Again as reference to Hollywood cop, some written scenes, are so amateurish, and lazy, it seems as the dialogue was written as it went along. Fong is the most calm and collected cop, while still maintaining a coolness. He's also the most unresponsive. Could it be that he's just a bad actor. Killpoint is a movie I hesitate to watch again, one that leaves me double minded, cause I know it won't leave me feeling really good at the end of it. Much is the blame on Cameron Mitchell's loathe character, and his actions.
