Point Blank

Lee Marvin plays the quintessential anti-hero in this stylistic, cult gangster film. He's an ex-con looking for the man who betrayed him and demanding $93,000 from "the organization" that stole it from him, and nothing is going to get in his way. Director John Boorman throws out every trick in the book (at that time, anyway), reminding me of the kind of film Tony Scott might have made in 1967. Boorman is a bold director, and unlike many of his films, this time his stylistic excesses seem to perfectly compliment the film. Take for instance, the scene in which Marvin throws John Vernon off the side of a building naked, or when Angie Dickinson repeatedly hits Marvin and he doesn't even blink.
