The Assassin [Region 2] description
Point of No Return is one of those Hollywood remakes of a European hit in which one can visualize a committee of studio executives sitting around and saying, "Okay, we know what made the original film unique and different and fun. How can we make that same movie and do exactly the opposite?" For-hire director John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) took La Femme Nikita, Luc Besson's undeniably sexy, original, and kitschy French film about a female assassin, and translated it into a calculating, mechanistic American thriller with no distinctive style. Bridget Fonda gamely plays the willowy street punk who becomes a high-society killer, but once that provocative irony is in place, the movie is pretty much a series of by-the-numbers action set pieces. Until, that is, Dermot Mulroney shows up as a love interest; but even that twist can't save this film. You're much better off with the original, subtitles and all. --Tom Keogh |

Bridget Fonda gives this film some muscle!
|
| Point of No Return starring the very talented Bridget Fonda is reason alone to watch this film. I wouldn't say I didn't like this film but some of the storyline doesn't ring true. Fonda plays a junkie who is suddenly turned into a hitwoman, I guess that could be believable but I never bought into that strange set-up. Dermot Mulroney also stars as a love interest to Fonda's character, their chemistry is what saves this film, some great stunts are what also keeps this film afloat. See it just for Fonda, she is amazing and so tough in this feature. |
