We have a real treat for you today, a trailer for French thriller, Point Blank. Technically, we’ve seen it before, as part of Andy Petrou’s World Trailer Park round-up, but for the non-Francophones among you, we have subtitles this time to give us a bit more of an idea as to what is going on.
To be honest, this looks like sensationally thrilling stuff, pared down to a lean, energetic approach, mercifully distanced from the Luc Besson over-stylised school of cinematography. The desperation, tension and atmosphere all look spot on in this tale of a nurse who must help a group of criminals get their hands on a biking accident victim in his care, or else see his pregnant wife killed. As the trailer progresses, it seems to just keep ratcheting up and up and although its French-ness causes to feel concern that it won’t attract the widespread release it clearly merits, no doubt we’ll be able to track it down, given a little determination.
Point Blank is due to hit UK screens on 11th June, with no US release date yet. Enjoy the trailer below.
