This full-length documentary uncovers never-published information via John Boorman and 4 months of research. No other book, podcast, or video has taken this deep of dive into the film "Point Blank." "Point Blank" is a 1967 American neo-noir crime film directed by John Boorman and starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, and Carroll O'Connor. The screenplay, written by Alexander Jacobs, David Newhouse, and Rafe Newhouse, is based on the 1963 novel "The Hunter" by Donald E. Westlake (published under the pseudonym Richard Stark). The film follows Walker (played by Lee Marvin), a stoic and relentless thief who is double-crossed and left for dead by his partner, Mal Reese (played by John Vernon), and his wife, Lynne (played by Sharon Acker), after a heist on Alcatraz Island. Walker survives and embarks on a quest for revenge, seeking to recover the $93,000 that was stolen from him. His journey leads him into a complex web of betrayals and deceit, navigating through the criminal underworld and a shadowy organization known as "the Organization."

"Point Blank" has been praised for its ahead-of-its-time approach to storytelling and visuals, as well as Marvin's performance, which embodies the archetypal tough guy with a deep sense of existential disillusionment. Over the years, "Point Blank" has gained a significant cult following and is considered a classic of the neo-noir genre. It has been lauded for its innovative approach to the crime film genre, its influence on future filmmakers, and its exploration of themes like revenge, alienation, and the futility of violence. The film's critical acclaim has grown over the decades, and it is now regarded as one of the standout films of the 1960s, as well as a seminal work in the development of neo-noir cinema.
