Point Blank is a 1998 US prison film by Matt Earl Beesley.
With Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo and Frederic Forrest. YouTube icon IMDb

Summary Review:
Over the top parody?

Convicted corporate criminal Howard engineers a prison break. The escapees storm a shopping mall and take a group of shoppers hostage (after killing many more of them) before making their demands. Only Rudy, a former mercenary and brother of one of the fugitives, can take out the criminals before more of the hostages die.

A tongue in cheek parody of that whole action movie genre, and a funny one at that. The slightly insane crime boss. Mickey Rourke grunts his way through the tough guy script with a bone dry delivery that make's you certain he's talking this whole thing seriously. Everything's over the top, the acting, the stunts, and Bruce Lee like battle's, an instant underground classic.

Never cut but was the subject of changing ratings. In the US the film was original MPAA R rated but the filmmakers protested successfully and got a PG rating (the PG-13 rating did not exist at the time).

When originally released in the UK the film was anticipated as being an X certificate, prohibiting anyone under 18 from seeing the film - this rating was also printed onto the poster art. This was due to a delay in the BBFC's introduction of the new 15 certificate (which replaced the old AA rating), and UIP's wish to release the film as soon as possible. When the 15 certificate was introduced in November 1982 the film was re-rated to 15.

This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive a 15 certificate but that their preferred 12A classification could be achieved by making some changes.

The company was advised:
  • to reduce stronger moments of violence where there was a dwelling on particular acts and
  • to reduce the emphasis on blood on bladed weapons.

When the film was formally submitted, changes had been made which addressed these concerns. Consequently, the film was passed 12A.

The company removed some focus on detail of a man impaled by a bloody spike and also reduced the focus on blood.

We originally saw this film for advice. We informed the distributor we would be likely to classify the film 18 on condition that changes be made to one short sequence depicting sexual activity in the presence of children. This is in accordance with the Protection of Children Act 1978. When the distributor submitted the film for formal classification, the scene had been re-edited, and we were able to classify the film 18.

Thanks to Scott:

An employee of Disney's UK arm confirmed that the cuts were made months ago to an unfinished version of the film, with Lanthimos' consent, and the cut version is the definitive, being released worldwide.

Summary Notes

A semi-autobiographical documentary by the hard-core film-maker John Lindsay about the fledgling porn industry. Consisting mostly of vox pops, the film is partly a defence of porn (it ends with the voiceover declaring: In the final event Seventies British Cinema porn is rather like television. If you don't like it you can simply turn off ') and partly, and more curiously, an indictment of its own audience as sad punters who embody typical male weakness -- 'Men are such suckers when they look at pretty birdies , Men are nuts, they like to see this crap)

Summary Review: Titillating, realistic, sensitive

Strand Releasing brings us a new look at the porn industry with 9 to 5: Days in Porn , a titillating, realistic, sensitive film. It is a look at the people who work in adult films.

What we want to know is what kind of people make porn movies---what motivates them and how long can they last? Does porn affect their personalities and their private lives?

The film does not glorify porn or porn stars but rather it is an honest look at the industry. It is real and totally unbiased and no conclusions are drawn. Of course the movie does titillate but that is because the actors themselves do but that was not the purpose.

The BBFC further commented in the 2010 Annual Report:

In some cases explicit sexual detail could not be justified and cuts were required before works were classified '18'. The Porn Diaries, a documentary about the contemporary US porn industry, is one such example.

The film includes fly on the wall footage of porn scenarios being shot that contain several brief images of explicit sex, pornographic in nature, together with images of dangerous, degrading and abusive sexual activity that would invariably be cut from sex works at 'R18'. Several cuts were required before the documentary was passed 18 .

Review from US Amazon : Not that Bad

Now in his late-fifties/early-sixties Jean-Pierre Leaud is still a fine actor who hits all the right notes in his performance as an aging pornographer. Leaud plays Jacques, a pornographer that had a slew of hits in the seventies but has retired. He now has a wife and an adult son he rarely speaks too, but decides to return to making movies.

Problem is, porn has changed since Jacques was making it and he's not able to make it the way he wants it too. As his world falls apart around him, Jacques begins to re-examine himself and, in the process, begins to lose his mind.

The movie is actually a really good character study, although it sometimes takes itself to seriously. The movie has probably got more attention for it's graphic sex scene than anything else. This scene (which occurs about 30 minutes into the movie) is graphic...But it's not. You see more of the guy than you do of the girl, in fact you really don't see anything of the girl. It is, technically, graphic...But.

A lot of the reviewers on here say the movie is dull. I didn't find it dull; I actually found it pretty interesting and thought provoking. It's no masterpiece, it's not in a league with masterpieces, it's not even the best look at the world of pornography, but it's definitely an underrated film.

Never cut by the BBFC, but was banned as a video nasty.
Version history

There are several versions around the world but the 118min PAL/123min NTSC version is attributed with the tag Director's Cut. There is a rumour that 5 minutes were edited out the octopus baby miscarriage on the metro. This appears to be false. The director himself has stated that the birth scene never did last 10 minutes. However a fair few scenes were cut during editing one of which clarifies what happens to Anna (Adjani). To the director's knowledge, none of these have ever made it to any release of the film.

Summary Review: Art Horror

Set in the outbreak of world war 3, a couple, Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, are undergoing a marital breakdown apparently mirroring the split of Berlin where they live. The wife cuts herself in the neck with an electric carving knife and partakes in an affair with an octopus creature.

During a secretive business trip away, Mark learns that his wife Anna is growing restless in what he believed was their happy marriage. Upon his return home, he learns from her that she wants a divorce. They both go through a series of different emotions related to their situation

Possession is totally extraordinary. Packed with symbolism, it can be read on so many possible levels of interpretation it's bewildering. Set in a European city (obviously cold war Berlin) in an alienating mixture of ultra modern buildings and decaying grandeur, visually it evokes a sense of dislocation.

Thematically, it seems to be a study of a marriage in the last phase of destruction, with Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani. What follows is a nightmarish and surreal two hours of startling images, bizarre acting and frequent bloodletting. Possession is a challenging art-horror.

A woman begins to suspect that her brother is possessed by a voodoo spirit.

I first watched this movie when I was just a teen and was riveted to the TV screen. I was amazed at the performance of the characters and the intensity of the plot.

If it was to be redone today there would be no doubt superb special effects to make it seem realistic. Shirley MacLaine is quite the actress no matter what part she is playing on the big screen and even now I have high respect for her ability to perform.

Summary Notes

Tasya Vos is a corporate agent who uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies, driving them to commit assassinations for the benefit of the company. While she has a special gift for the work, her experiences on these jobs have caused a dramatic change in her, and in her own life she struggles to suppress violent memories and urges. As her mental strain intensifies, she begins to lose control, and soon she finds herself trapped in the mind of a man whose identity threatens to obliterate her own.

Presented stateside by distributor Neon, Possessor Uncut -- titled so to distinguish it from an R-rated version that also will be available in some markets -- is the complete version as far as director Brandon Cronenberg is concerned, replete with the uninhibited moments of sex and violence, such as the transfixing erection glimpsed in a sequence memorably bathed in electric blue, that might otherwise have earned the film an NC-17 rating. Cronenberg commented:

Generally I prefer explicit violence, and I prefer violence that is viscerally disturbing to people. I find it more unsettling if violence is very sanitized. If you have a PG-13 movie where 100 people get killed and no one bleeds, to me that's doing a disservice by trivializing the violence. So I prefer people to have that visceral response, because you should.
