Only way this got made was somebody knew a friend of a friend of a friend who had a very wealth Daddy that wanted his loser Mistake out of his Hair and Life.
I'll make this short. Andrew "dice" Clay was fun to watch, and Angie Everhart is always a welcome addition. Also seeing Sebastian Bach was a cool surprise in a relatively small role. Some of the other actors did better then expected for a movie of this type as well. The movie as a whole however was not very good. A so-so script which may have been better if the budget and production value were much higher. I presume all the budget went to the actors as there were a number of known names and faces if no A-list stars. I could recommend renting this movie is if some of the actors are personal favorites. That's why I did, but if your looking for a good, fun, action movie there are many better to choose from.
I rate it 5 out of 10 based on the appeal of some of the actors. Otherwise I would've felt like I wasted my time.

Richard Grieco has done some ok movies and bad movies.This is a bad freakin movie.It starts out great then I dont know what happened.Andrew Dice Clay what happened?Angie Everhart is sexy as always but in this movie,I had to pray,pray for me to last through this flick.I was wondering why people at Blockbuster were laughing at me.My girl got mad at how bad this movie was.
To be sure it is the cast that makes this watchable. The script is average and the dialogue never sparkles on its own. Andrew Dice Clay, not one of my favorite comedians, is the highlight of a film I mainly watched for Ice-T & Richard Grieco.
The cinematography is surprisingly well done and creative. If you're 20 or younger you probablywon't find anything of value. If you lived and loved the 80s & 90s...i think you just might actually enjoy this.

Before I say too much about "Point Doom," somebody, please, get Angie Everhart a good script. She has too much on-screen presence to be wasted in thankless roles like this.
"Point Doom" had the potential to be 90 minutes of straight-to-video fun. Hey, it WAS fun for a while, particularly the minor fender-bender which the stunt coordinator turned into an enormous car-flipping fiery explosion. And the talent agent who never gets any phone calls, but who owns a $100,000 car and a $2 million beach house. And the bikers with perfect, straight white teeth. Really white teeth. Then again, maybe the bikers weren't all that authentic, since there was very little biking going on in the movie. Do you know any bikers who keep a late-model, American-made sedan as a backup, just in case they have to take a hostage?
There's not a lot to say about this movie, so please forgive me for not taking this review too seriously. The plot is, a high-powered (allegedly) Hollywood talent agent falls for a strip club waitress whose boyfriend is a homicidal drug-dealing biker. You can guess the rest.
I should mention that the talent agent, played by Richard Grieco, has the most obnoxious haircut seen on a male actor since...hmmm, this is tough. Does Donald Trump count? Also, Andrew "Dice" Clay is in "Point Doom," playing the character you'd expect him to play: a strip club owner. Fans of Mr. Clay should stop the movie before it finishes, if they want to avoid an embarrassing scene in which Mr. Clay's character meekly climbs into the back seat of Mr. Grieco's car. How the mighty have fallen...
But back to Ms. Everhart. She's not given much to work with here, but she tries hard with it nonetheless. What would I give to see her in a leading role in a major-studio film? If George Lucas is reading this and has parts available in future "Star Wars" films, let me recommend someone...George? Are you there?
