That right there is your first giveaway into realising that everything is not as it seems. Glass shatters and the first to emerge from a broken window of the house is a shot in the abdomen, injured and on the run Abraham Guavera (Frank Grillo) who is relentlessly pursued by two men from the house, who most definitely aren’t cops. The film is quickly put into action with the very first frame as we hear gunshots inside the residence of later revealed to be an influential and honest Assistant DA, Joshua Gregory. Here is my take and a plot breakup of the latest Netflix original film that is too insipid even for background noise. This is not a film I would critically deconstruct to state everything that went wrong despite a promising start however, if for some reason you too happened to chance upon this film that quite subtly stating, has mediocre written all over it, we can perhaps talk about it a little bit before this film gets pushed to the back of the Netflix library. I went in with none, and still came out pretty dang disappointed. There are people who walk into a film venture with lowered expectations. ‘Point Blank’ is the perfect example of why too much of anything is not a good thing at all, even Netflix original films that aren’t masterpieces to begin with, ‘ Roma’ being a fine exception among them. While usually I reserve my final word and what I felt about the film till the end of the writeup, here I am just going to go ahead and divulge it earlier. Remade from the 2010 French film of the same name, ‘Point Blank’ brings together Marvel co-stars Anthony Mackie and Frank Grillo from opposite factions on the MCU, particularly the ‘ Captain America’ films, to an unlikely buddy team up on the wrong side of law. Whatever the reason, Netflix currently has the single largest library of online content, both original and borrowed, and the dual paradigm of such a magnanimity is what would lead to a by-product such as ‘ Point Blank’.
