Critics Consensus

Point Blank has its reasonably diverting moments, but high energy and fast-paced action can't disguise this remake's frustratingly middling storytelling.

Elisabeth Vincentelli

New York Times

If anything, the film emanates a startling ineptitude, unable as it is to clear some basic standards of craftsmanship.

AV Club

A remake of the 2010 French thriller of the same title, Point Blank mostly runs on the fumes of its chase-movie formula.

Rated: C

Guardian

There are worse films to spend 86 minutes with on a Sunday afternoon but, more importantly, there are also so, so many better ones instead.

Rated: 2/5

NME (New Musical Express)

Whilst it follows the original film's narrative fairly closely, Lynch really makes Cavayé's source material his own thanks to his frenetic directing style and some really savvy script changes...

Point Blank takes a by-the-numbers plot and floats to a finish. There's nothing wrong with that. Just nothing note-worthy. And in the battle for our attention that's not going to pay the bills.

Rated: B-

For the most part, Point Blank is forgettable - a fact that feels not only like a letdown for viewers, but a disappointment for leads Mackie and Grillo.

The movie is about as bog standard an action film as you are going to find. There's an all-important flash drive McGuffin that everyone wants. A man's wife and or son is kidnapped, and he is thrust into the action in order to save his family. Throw in some car chases, some shoot ups and betrayals and you got your basic action movie. Even the name is super generic. "Point Blank". Go ahead look up how many other action movies have that same name. There are at least 8 other films with that exact title. And in the context of the story, I don't even know why it's called "Point Blank". But for what it is, it does all of these points pretty well, and at 86 mins, it doesn't waste much time. It just doesn't do anything to stand out from the others.

It's an easy going film with great excitement and a good plot. It's not going to win any awards, but it is a fun watch. It moves along nicely and I had a good time. Definitely worth a watch.

What is this? Action, drama, suspence, crime, comedy...? It tries to be all of this. Therefore it fails. Skip this one, as it will only make you confused.

I really enjoy the off-beat buddy cop style of movie this is going for. Anthony Mackie and frank Grillo have some really funny chemistry, but the movie falls flat sometimes
