An adreniline-charged action classic. A real knockout. A stylish, cool, very exciting and pulse-pounding edge of your seat action-thriller that never lets up. It has plenty of surfing, bullets, fighting and chases an action fan could want. It's a 100% pure adreniline action flick...( read more)
they don't make 'em like this anymore! classic 90's action reel... on par with such greats as "the rock", "con air" & well... you get the idea! here it's keanu though and the recently departed patrick swayze. lots of adrenalin. certainly kept my eyes open despite me being tired

The plot of Point Blank, summarized, invites parody (rookie agent goes undercover as surfer to catch bank robbers). The result is surprisingly effective. full review
I said it about Men In Black 2, read the review the flixster guy gives because i truly cant even begin to describe how good this movie is. Rent it, or better yet, buy it. Although made way back when i was a wee lad just learning to walk (1991), you MUST see it.
