Total Film"Mr. Iliff's screenplay includes some egregious silliness and a long string of false endings, but occasionally it sounds the kind of tough-guy note that gets one's attention."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The plot of "Point Blank," summarized, invites parody (rookie agent goes undercover as surfer to catch bank robbers). The result is surprisingly effective."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"The elements conspire to produce a superb splash of trashy, testosterone-induced mayhem."
