Really bad remake of Point Blank


Everyone on this board might have a lot of questions answered by watching the source movie, 1967 or 68's Point Blank a Classic of Cinema.

apparently this movie was so bad that that were not allowed to use the original title.

Part of the problem with payback it is a remake of Point Blank made in 67, remade in 99 but set in the early 80s. For some reason all these periods seem to find their way into that movie.

This such a shamefully bad remake I wonder what idiot wrote it directed it or approved it.

Did they think by renaming it no one would not notice how much of a piss poor remake of Point Blank it actually is?

This movie never should have been made.

Go watch the original

It is not a remake of any movie. Both are adaptions of the 1967 Novel "The Hunter" by Richard Stark.

You're obviously a child. All kinds of remakes use different titles. What's wrong with the movie itself? Try addressing that idea.
