Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Saw a French action/thriller over the weekend call Point Blank. I had never heard of it before Sunday morning but it was a good local review and 100% at Rotten Tomatoes so I decided to go in cold (didn't even know it was in French until the movie started).

Tight, constant ratcheting of the action without ever veering too far into the superhuman (not omniscient villains and no hypercompetent protagonist) and it all plays out in an almost realistic way.

So, I don't know how widely this is playing but I recommend it if you're ok with subtitles and definitely keep an eye out for it on DVD/Streaming.
