Directed by John Boorman • 1967 • United States
Starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn

With this fractured, coolly minimalist thriller, director John Boorman reimagined the film noir for a new era of Hollywood filmmaking. Lee Marvin stars as Walker, a gangster shot “point blank” and left for dead on Alcatraz by his partner, who leaves with Walker’s money and his wife. But Walker doesn’t die. Now, ruthless and unstoppable, he pursues the people who betrayed him. Based on a novel by crime-fiction specialist Donald E. Westlake, POINT BLANK combines pulp atmosphere, monumental location shooting, and edgy modernist flourishes into a riveting revenge story.
