Point Blank (1967)

 

After being double-crossed and left for dead, a mysterious man named Walker single-mindedly tries to retrieve the money that was stolen from him.

Innovativingly leftfield thriller enhances its Noir plot with great style and imaginative non-linear story-telling; you may easily call it: cool."

Halliwell*: "Extremely violent gangster thriller, well shot on location and something of a cult, but with irritating pretentiousness and obscure plot points."

Maltin***1/2: "Taut thriller, ignored in 1967, but now regarded as a top film of the decade."
