Point Blank [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray]

Point Blank 4K Ultra HD presents director John Boorman’s radical reinvention of the gangster film as a fractured, modernist revenge thriller. Stripping crime cinema down to its existential core, Boorman transforms hardboiled pulp into a hypnotic psychological maze, where memory, identity, and violence blur into something abstract and unsettling.

Lee Marvin delivers one of the most iconic performances of his career as Walker, a near-mythic figure driven by betrayal and obsession. Left for dead after a robbery by his closest friend, Walker stalks Los Angeles in pursuit of cold, transactional vengeance, aided by a disillusioned ex-moll played by Angie Dickinson. Shot with a surreal pop-art sensibility, the film turns sunlit midcentury Los Angeles into a landscape of alienation, repetition, and moral emptiness, redefining the crime genre for a new era.

This director-approved Criterion edition features a new 4K digital restoration supervised by John Boorman, alongside extensive interviews, commentary, archival material, and a critical essay that explore the film’s groundbreaking style, production history, and lasting influence.
