ChuckFlixs: Point BlankBy Chuck VanHooseJuly 13, 2019Welcome back to another addition of Chuck Flixs. I’ll be reviewing Netflix’s newest release Point Blank. It stars Anthony Mackie and Frank Grillo. It’s a fight with rival gangs and corrupt cops. Career criminal (Frank Grillo) and a nurse (Anthony Mackie) must work together to reveal the truth. Stacks are even higher because Anthony Mackie’s pregnant wife who is due any day now is taken hostage!

This a movie format that we have seen countless times over the years. A upstanding citizen is forced to work outside the law in order to save his wife. This movies are cheap to make and require you to turn your brain off. I didn’t hate this movie but I also didn’t love it.

Positives

I liked the chemistry between Frank and Mackie. They were asked to carry the film and they did the best they could. They weren’t given the best script but they made it work.

My favorite character was called Big D who was a gang leader played by Markice Moore. He was a inspiring film maker and made references to his thought on the movie business. It was something dumb but I found it entertaining.

Negatives
The script was poor and a genetic action script. The movie was extremely predictable, I knew how it was going to be me within the first 10 minutes. The villains were not compelling and I didn’t find them as a realistic threat.

This is just an okay movie that’s slightly unmemorable. But since I like Anthony Mackie I’m going to give it a slightly higher rating.

Rating: 6/10
