bennyhillifier Directed by Fred Cavayé (Anything For Her), Point Blank is a slick, high adrenaline action film in the tradition of such hits as Taken and Tell No One, starring Gilles Lellouche as a man racing against time.
Samuel is a happily married nurse working in a Paris hospital. When his very pregnant wife is kidnapped before his eyes, everything falls apart. After being knocked unconscious, he comes to and his cell phone rings: he has three hours to get Sartet, a man under police surveillance, out of the hospital. Shot on location in wide lens, Point Blank is an exhilarating non-stop ride through Paris’ streets, subways, hospitals, warehouses, and police stations, as Samuel quickly finds himself pitted against rival gangsters and trigger-happy police in a deadly race to save the lives of his wife and unborn child.
(not often we get thriller/action films at the Coolidge outside of midnights, but when we do, we get international ones which usually are really really awesome)
