Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: I don't even want to talk about that, youse are responsible for all the bores in

[quote name="Vested Id"]The best way I can think to describe Point Blank is Alphaville crossed with Raiders of the Lost Ark; it's an experimental and highly formalist noir-take like the former, but also a thrilling and funny adventure movie with a great protagonist like the latter. Weird but rewarding. Payback, though I like it, smacks of Hollywood dealmaking (Mel Gibson as a BAD guy? Lucy Liu!) and it's pretty sad that they took a look at the bright, modernist visual style of PB and decided that an appropriate contemporary response to that would be to just bleach process everything. It also doesn't have a naked guy getting thrown off a building I don't think.[/quote]
