Kevin, Kevin!
My justifications for Point Blank were certainly not done to
be taken as personal on your side... I just tried to give an
angle on what it made that this film was a good movie. And I
personally liked it way before it came to its near-classic
status... And as everybody here I of course read the Parker's
series as well. And liked most of them.
Mark Sullivan gave also, in better words than I could do, a
further description about the values of the film especially
compared to Payback. Therefore, I do not need to develop
longer here.
So if you do not like Point Blank, OK it's your
opinion.
But there are more urgent matters:

Ladies! Kevin, are you out of your mind? Take my offer for
the 22LR with revolver, it's quicker! Believe me...
