Alienation at its best
I first saw this movie when I was in college in the Seventies. I viewed the film again in 2001. The power of the film was the same on my senses. Several reasons come up: British Director John Boorman was at his best trying to outdo Don Siegel’s The Killers (1967)-which also stars Marvin and Dickinson in somewhat similar roles. I will really be surprised if Boorman denies that he was not influenced by the Siegel movie.

Why did Point Blank make an impact on me? Was it Lee Marvin’s raw machismo? No. It was Boorman, who gave cinema a brilliant essay on alienation. When Dickinson’s Chris asks Marvin’s Walker ‘What’s my last name?’ after a bout of sex and gets a repartee ‘What’s my first name?’ you can argue the alienation is embedded in the dialog. But Boorman’s cinema includes the loud footsteps of a determined Walker on the soundtrack, somewhat like Godard in Alpahaville, contrasting bright wide open spaces for the exchange of money that goes according to plan and closed dimly lit confines of Alcatraz for those that go wrong. There is laconic humor without laughter, pumping bullets into an empty bed, guards who narrowly miss Marvin going up the lift, the car salesman’s interest in an attractive customer than in his job, the sharpshooter’s smug satisfaction not realizing that he has got the wrong man The list is endless.

The camera-work of Philip Lathrop is inventive, but was it Lathrop or Boorman that made the visual appeal of the Panavision format of this film come alive?

Viewing the film in 2001, several points emerge. $93,000 was important to Walker, nothing more nothing less. But was it money he was after or was it the value of an agreement among thieves? The open ended finale runs parallel to the end of an Arthur Penn film (also on alienation)called “Night Moves” made some 10 years later. What surprises me is how a good movie like Point Blank never won an award or even an Oscar nomination.

Point Blank is one of the most influential films of the 1960’s
Point Blank is one of those lost gems from the 1960’s. It got buried because it was released around the same time as Bonnie and Clyde. This film combines all the great elements of the American action film with flourishes of European art house cinema. John Boorman’s direction is excellent, and not enough can be said about Lee Marvin’s performance. This is without question one of Lee’s best tough guy performances. I don’t understand how the previous reviewer can say this film seems “dated” and “funny for all the wrong reasons”. It is as fresh and interesting as it was back at the time of its release. Those looking for it on DVD may want to know that the widescreen format version appears on TCM occasionally. You may want to pop in a tape the next time it is on until the DVD finally comes out.
