Stylish and taut thriller starring LeeMarvin.

Walker (Marvin) is pulling a heist with his partner Reese (John Vernon) when Reese betrays him, taking both the money ($93,000) and Walker's wife Lynne. Walker survives the shooting and with the help of the mysterious figure Yost begins to hunt down Reese, his wife and the money.

It turns out Reese needed the cash to pay off a debt to the mysterious Organization, a crime syndicate led by a trio of bosses. So not only does Walker have to deal with Reese, but also a large criminal enterprise with enough resources to take down one lonely man...

Not to be confused with the [[{{VideoGames/Point Blank}} arcade game of the same name.]]

!!''PointBlank'' includes examples of these tropes:
* BadAss: Lee Marvin. And his character.
* BigBad: There's a trio of Organization bosses -- Carter, Brewster and Fairfax. Walker [[spoiler: tricks Carter into getting killed]], and [[spoiler: kidnaps Brewster to force payment.]] When the drop is being made, [[spoiler: Brewster gets shot, and the one shooting him - Yost - turns out to be Fairfax.]]
* TheCombatPragmatist
* {{Determinator}}: The Organization should really pay him his money.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The little dialog in the film is strange and repetitive. It is all part of the stylized world.
* DyingDream: Or so says the director.
* FilmNoir: Like {{Chinatown}}, this movie is a FilmNoir that escaped into the daylight where it became even harsher and more cynical.
* FlashbackCut: To the point of non-linearity at times.
* ImplacableMan: Walker
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Walker could show Bauer a thing or twelve about getting information.
* MacGuffin: $93,000.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Many.
* OnlyOneName: Walker.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: More like Silent Rampage of Revenge.
* TapOnTheHead: "We just knock 'em on the head, it's that simple!"
* NeutralFemale
* SilenceIsGolden: The film is famously laconic.
* TheSyndicate: The Organization.
* VillainProtagonist: Walker.
* WakeupMakeup:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: There are those who argue that Walker is actually a ghost.
** See DyingDream, below.
* BadAss: Lee Marvin. Oh, I guess his character too.

* FridgeLogic: Why was Yost helping Walker?
* HeyItsThatGuy: Walker gets betrayed by [[AnimalHouse Dean Wormer?]]. And there's [[PoliceWoman Police Woman]] as the sister-in-law!
