Trivia:
Lee Marvin faked the recoil from the Magnum .44 when he shots in Lynne's bed; in fact these were blank shots, but afterwards when shooting in Alcatraz they tried with real bullets and there was no recoil at all. Marvin said to Boorman "Fiction overtakes reality". more

Very good and tough in its time, 6 August 2000

Tough and brutal, that best describes Boorman's excellent direction. Lee Marvin is perfect as a man who is out for revenge. The story is quite raw, it features flashbacks which haunt the character. The ending sums up the character, but you'll need to see it to find out for yourself. The supporting cast is very good, but this Marvin's baby and he is terrific.

Boorman makes full use of the widescreen frame. Watching in full frame ruins the entire picture. You have only truly seen Point Blank if you've viewed in widescreen.
