	Media	Author	Review
		Matt Fowler IGN	"'Point Blank's production bones are solid and the action itself is clear and capable, but the story is woefully past its expiration date and the attempt to tether it back to the types of 'action movies we grew up with' falls flat"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There are worse films to spend 86 minutes with on a Sunday afternoon but, more importantly, there are also so, so many better ones instead (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"'Point Blank' might not be the kind of action picture that’s highly rewatchable, but it will certainly leave a lot of old school genre buffs with some warm feelings (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"[It] throws a lot of ideas at the wall without committing to any one of them, resulting in a thriller that's more confusing than exciting"
		Adam Graham Detroit News	"[Mackie and Grillo] have a rough, gritty chemistry together (...) [Lynch] keeps things juiced throughout"
		Kahron Spearman The Daily Dot	"'Point Blank' makes sense as a Netflix release, given the flimsy potting and lack of electricity from its main cast (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
