Summary: Best sound track..sorta good movie
Review: I love this movie for two simple reasons. First it would have to be the NINA SIMONE music in the background. and SEcond it would have to BE the performance of Gabriel Byrne. I fell in love with him by the time the last scene came around. The way he Talks in the movie sent shivers up my spine. True the Movie is a POOR rendition of the former La femm Nikita, it is still a great movie.

Summary: DIFFERENT
Review: I LOVED this movie!It is an unusual plot with excellent acting, cinematography, and sound. If you want very realistic, non stop action with a different twist,
and emotions that span the gamut, TRY this one out. I can't imagine
how you could be disappointed. This DVD will be one of my keepsakes. (Also, Bridget Fonda turns me on!) Rating: 10/10 5/5 Bill Schaefer

Summary: Only Harvey Keitel Fans Need Bother With This "Point"
Review: I only saw "Point Of No Return"(The American remake of the French film "La Femme Nikita") because I read that Harvey Keitel has an interesting cameo in this movie. After one viewing, I have to say that this cameo is the only worthwhile element in the whole movie. Street punk Bridget Fonda is sent to prison and supposedly executed for unintentionally killing a police officer. Fonda is "brought back to life" by a secret government agency that trains her to become an assassin. "Point Of No Return" is nowhere near as intelligent, exciting, or heartfelt as the original "La Femme Nikita" or its Hong Kong remake, "Black Cat." Fonda brings nothing to her character. "PONR" is just another plastic Hollywood action movie. Harvey Keitel is the only saving grace of this film. Unfortunately, he only appears for about twenty minutes near the end of the movie. Keitel's performance as Victor the Cleaner, a stone-faced and almost robotic hit man, is solid proof that acting is far more than merely reading lines. He has only one line of dialogue, but exudes an awesome and creepy presence. Keitel kills people and pours corrosive acid on corpses without flinching an eye. His performance rivals Jean Reno's portrayal of a similar character in the original "La Femme Nikita." "PONR" is only for Harvey Keitel fans. For a great female hit woman movie, see "La Femme Nikita" and "Black Cat."

Summary: Point of no Return
Review: I saw this movie years ago, and remembered being completely thrilled after seeing it. It didn't fail to entertain when I saw it again last week. I don't imagine it was a blockbuster, and it's nice to have movies on the shelf that no one's seen before- provides new entertainment for a crowd who's tired of seeing the same thing again and again.
For those who dig spy/assassin/sniper type movies, this one is a must-have.

Summary: Good Action Pic But Lacks French Cynicism
Review: I think the French really know how to make a crime movie. We seem to go for the thug angle, whereas they bring on the elan and panache. I am a real Bridget Fonda fan, even though I hate her mother and every movie she made except when she played herself in "Klute." This is, a one reviewer stated, virtually a frame-by-frame remake of the original French. So are a lot of films from Hollywood, but that does not make it inferior. This is movie is not inferior because the acting is not inferior. Gabriel Byrne isn't as good as in "Usual Suspects," but his portrayal is still excellent as Fonda's (Maggie's) tutor. The one to watch is Harvey Keitel as Victor the Cleaner. His version is much superior to that of Schwarzenegger's concept. Don't you just like how he gets rid of the irritating guy banging on the trunk of his car? Wouldn't it be great to do the same thing at a super market? And how about those glasses? It's all in the acting. The minor irritant is Mulroney as the boyfriend. What a limp biscuit. It's like he knew the only way he could get Fonda in bed was by acting with her in a movie. I think I was available in 1992, but nobody called me, meaning they had to settle for him.

Summary: Why waste your time with a lousy remake?
Review: I went to see this movie without realizing it was a remake of Nikita. Poor me! The original captured French cynicism, class and style, and was pretty gripping. Take away these elements, and nothing remains. The movie moves along in a tired, uninspired way, the actors are unconvincing at best.
Rating:
Summary: Doesn't compare to the original
Review: If you're thinking of seeing this movie, bag it and watch La Femme Nikita instead. Nikita is a smart, sexy movie that doesn't degenerate into a plain vanilla action film, as does Point of No Return. The "dumbing down" of the original film for an American audience is insulting. In addition, the acting in the original is far superior to that in PoNR. Bridget Fonda isn't believable as a tough street girl, and while I enjoy watching Gabriel Byrne in most films, his portrayal of Bob pales in comparison to Tcheky Karyo.
