Summary: Mel Gibson in a one of a kind performance.
Review: I seen this film at a movie theatre, it was great wacthing it at a big screen, i didn`t know this film was a remake from the late sixties called-Point Blank.It fun to see-Mel Gibson in a dark performance, which he should play the bad guy often. Lucy Alexis Liu is very funny, she like to torture her clients. Just watch it for the fun, not to criticize the film. Grade:B+. Panavision.

Summary: An action movie that is just plain fun
Review: It seems that the reviews vary greatly for this movie. I personally enjoyed this film. It isn't a masterpiece, but I really liked Mel Gibson's character in this movie. He isn't a nice guy by any stretch of the imagination, but his raw determination to get his money back(Which really isn't his-he stole it before it was taken from him)makes you do just what the movie preview says, you "root for the bad guy." His is also a somewhat realistic character. He is smart and has a variety of skills to suit his occupation, but at times, it is just dumb luck that saves him. I would recommend this film to anyone that likes action movies and is not squeamish about violence.

Summary: Go see the original version of the book this is based on...
Review: ...its called "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. It is better in every way than this typical Hollywood tripe.

Summary: Typical action/adventure movie?
Review: I say no, it was high paced, action with origonal ideas, and catchy foreshadowing. I did not like the overuse of Mel Gibson being tortured, I thought that it was good for every movie he was in, but come on! Why does this guy deserve to be tortured in all his movies. Poor fella.

Summary: Not really worth the payout
Review: Straightforward revenge plot with Lucy Liu as eye candy and many rather unbelievable plot twists. Good as cheap action Flicks go, but Mel Gibson could have gotten better scripts along the same lines. He does well with what he had just he didn't have a whole lot to work with. Something to take teenagers to that want to see explosions but that is about it.

Summary: Get Ready to Root for the Bad Guy
Review: So said the tv spots for this Mel Gibson crime/caper flick. And make no doubt about it; Mel's a thieving, conniving, murderous thug, but what makes you root for him is his dogged determination to get what is rightfully his. This film is a throwback to the old gangster dramas, along the lines of old Cagney films, but it's much more brutal and vicious. It's full of great moments, and Mel never once steps out of character making his performance that much more believable. Even Kris Kristofferson's good in it, and that's sayin' somethin'! Throw in the luscious Lucy Liu and you've got a good flick. Still don't think Mel can pull off playing a scumbag? See this one and be proved wrong. As James Coburn states in the film, "Man, you're just mean!" My favorite part of the movie is the first ten minutes, as Mel goes from being bleeding and busted to having a good suit, a pocket full of money and a credit card, and it's all 'cause he's a slick S.O.B. Based on the book "The Hunter," by Richard Stark and directed by L.A. Confidential's Brian Helgeland.

Summary: Let's do some math...
Review: If Mel's character was after his share of the take that originally was in the 5 digits, why didn't he absolutely demand that it be upped to seven digits-plus, after all the hell and life-threatening experiences he went through? Wouldn't you? Hell, yes! Some good action, a truck load of violent scenes, but not a great flick over all.

Summary: This aint a Disney film
Review: This movie is not for everyone, as shown by Kent's review who must have thought this was a Disney movie or something. I could barely believe his comments in the review. The film is supposed to be dark, it is supposed to dreary, it is supposed to be full of crooks, it is supposed to be violent. Sheesh, it's like writing a poor review of Lion King because it was animated. I thoroughly enjoyed this black comedy/ action. The writers were very clever and I was surprised to see how well Gibson played this gangster type role so well. Although it is not for everyone, it is certainly worthwhile having a close look at.

Summary: poot
Review: this movie was so boring.. the ending was cool... but it had the biggest cliches you've ever seen in a movie and I hate the film they used! it's all blue-ish and whatnot... not colorful enough to interest anyone...
Rating: 
Summary: An absolute stinker!
Review: Quite possibly one of the worst movies ever made. Dreary setting; all the characters are crooks, hookers, and/or junkies; most of the dialogue is foul language; Gibson beats someone up, gets beat up, or shoots someone in virtually every scene. Only the scriptwriter knows the body count for this ugly, trashy movie.
