Description:Walker (Lee Marvin) is double-crossed by his business partner and his wife and left for dead. He survives and goes after the partner. When his wife discovers he's alive, she kills herself. Chris (Angie Dickinson), Walker's sister-in-law helps him track down and kill the partner, but Walker still wants his money. A mysterious man named Yost helps Walker by telling him where to find other members of the organization. One by one he tracks them down, but in their panic, they keep killing each other. In the end, Yost turns out to be the head of the organization. The movie ends without it being clear if Walker collects his money, but apparently he ends up with Chris.
My Rating:4

Reviews for Point Blank

Review - Point Blank

The movie tries so hard to be atmospheric and obscure that it forgets to make any sense. None of the characters are given any motivation or personality. Weirdly-timed vague flashbacks just confuse things. There's no explanation why the members of the organization are so inept and happy to kill each other. And there is no ending.
