8/10 [Highly Recommended]
Terrific!
Point Blank or À bout portant (original title): Samuel Pierret (Gilles Lellouche) is a nurse who saves the wrong guy -- a thief--which sends samuel's life into a state of chaos
Point Blank is an action packed French thriller/crime/mystery that will have you so engrossed that you don't realize you have been gripping onto the arms of your chair for the entire film.
I started the film having not read any plot summaries or even have the slightest idea what it is about. About 5 minutes into the film, I knew I was in for an exciting ride. The movie starts off fast and edgy with a chase scene, which doesn't allow the audience to sit back in their seats. You know you are watching a good thriller when you can feel yourself hyperventilating with the characters as they dash across busy streets--I sure felt the adrenaline pumping.
I am very happy with the casting for main character Samuel, played by Gilles Lellouche. Having seen Lellouche in Little White Lies and Tell No One, I was not disappointed in Point Blank. He carried the storyline well and greatly captured a man desperate to save his wife.
If you want action/thriller and good story line to wrap yourself in, then stop making excuses and give this movie a chance!
