You're going to have to track "Point Blank" down, but if you're looking for a real slice of what the thriller cinema perpetually promises and so rarely delivers -- pure force from up close -- it's one of the standout secrets of the year.

Put aside any hang-ups you may have about subtitles. As action flicks go, "Point Blank" is right on target.

The acting is impeccable from top to bottom, and the relentless pace keeps us from fretting about niggling defects.
