... make him any more talkative, even when he finds out where his ex-wife (Angie Dickinson) is living – the camera jumps from place to place, with plenty of odd angles and obscured shots, along with close-ups of Marvin in various quizzical poses as he delivers cryptic one-liners. This is all well and good, but aside from Marvin and Vernon, who do the job well enough, the acting is nowhere near good enough to carry it off. Dickinson seems to blurt out her lines in the most stilted, wooden way you can imagine, and t...more

Point Blank (DVD): Firing blanks (667 words)

When shown on BBC2 over the Christmas period, this was billed as a classic piece of film noir, a violent thriller that blazed a trail on the silver screen long before Tarantino managed to turn gangsters and guns into a licence to print money. The plot looked simple enough – Lee Marvin is in the role of plays Walker, a Los Angeles hood who was double-crossed by his erstwhile partner in crime, Mal Reese (played by John Vernon), but survives the murder attempt on Alcatraz and makes it back to the mainland to seek out Reese and get his money back. Things didn’t get off to a particularly auspicious start, as Marvin doesn’t say a word for much of the ... Read the complete review

This film has the reputation of being a classic from 1967 as a thriller, full of violence.

Mal Reese (played by John Vernon) is the man that was Walker’s (Lee Marvin) partner, but in a scene set in the disused Alcatraz prison, Reese shoots Walker at Point Blank range and takes off with the money and Walker’s wife. It is a couple of years later that Walker returns to Los Angeles determined to find Reese ... Read the complete review
