![]() It doesn’t even manage to do that in an exciting way. It offers nothing to the genre that you haven’t already seen a hundred times over. However, the movie fails to deliver any of these things. Especially since I’m a huge fan of both the main actors. I was genuinely excited to see and review this movie. ![]() Not to mention the seemingly interesting plot surrounding dirty cops. We get comedy though the banter between the sarcastic Anthony Mackie and dry Frank Grillo. ![]() There’s action in the form of crazy gunfights and adrenaline-fueled car chases. On the surface, Point Blank seems to have it all. The movie follows the pair as they team up to accomplish their mission, leading to a race across the city with cops (corrupt and otherwise) and rival gangs trying to catch and kill them every step of the way. The catch? Abe is believed to be carrying information that would expose the full extent of police corruption within the city. In order to ensure her safety, Paul must get Abe (Grillo), a murder suspect with a gun wound to a safe location. Paul (Mackie), an emergency room nurse, finds himself on the wrong side of the law when his heavily pregnant wife (Parris) is kidnapped and held hostage. Starring: Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Marcia Gay Harden, Christian Cook, and Teyonah Parris Simon (screenplay) and Fred Cavayé (characters) The following review will be spoiler free. How was the experience? Let’s take a look! Netflix has undeniably released some excellent movies over the past year, and so I was genuinely excited to give this one a shot as soon as it became available. For some reason, my mind went to Bucky and Sam in Captain America: Civil War, and I was excited to see a similar thing with Anthony Mackie and Frank Grillo. The trailer for Point Blank suggests that it will follow the budding bromance between two unlikely allies who are forced together by the situations unraveling around them: specifically, those involving corrupt cops. From Filth and Lakeview Terrace to Training Day and The Departed. I’ve always been a fan of action-thrillers that involve corrupt cops.
