An all right thriller, 2 December 2001
7/10
Author: dee.reid from United States

It stars Christopher Lambert as some sort of an assassin named Tony and his team of assassins who are after a dangerous terrorist. When a sting to bust the terrorist goes wrong and an agent is killed, Tony believes the wrong man was killed and all the blame is being directed towards Tony. Soon afterwards, members of Tony's team start getting killed off. Tony suspects it was the terrorist, but know one believes him, not even his team members. Then Tony goes to solve the mystery by himself.

This is an all right thriller. Christopher Lambert is good as always. I don't know why he is so over-looked by mainstream directors. The straight to video movies he does are all right, but are inevitably soon to start getting stupid.

Disclaimer: the video box for "The Point Men" contains a warning that says that because it deals with terrorism, it may turn away some viewers because of the events of September 11.

7/10
