After watching it yesterday I basically have a mixed feeling about this film. The piece has a strong start with a chase and some action which looks gritty and not all "over the top" like in most action films, so that's a good thing. There are moments when the action displayed in this film, like shootouts and car chases, looks surprisingly realistic.However the film is plagued by too many plot holes and moments where the viewer is treated like a brainless observer. Just some examples:*Possible spoilers*1. After the guy who went back to the USA to study gets shot in a store by the main baddie they bury him back in Israel. Directly after the funeral Christopher Lambert and the blonde woman talk in the car about how excited they are that she acquired a job at an embassy in Greece.Their best friend just died horribly, they buried him and seconds later it's all "lets be happy together again and oh did I already tell you I have a new job"? No normal person would respond in this manner.2. When the main bad guy goes to Israel to pick up the hardware, that he needs for the final hit, at an old man's workshop he gets attacked by some Palestine kids. Seconds after they start throwing stones 3 Israeli soldiers race around the corner, down the street and "liberate" him.3. The old military guy in charge of the whole operation is your stereotypical hard ass who doesn't use his common sense. "Oh sure we just lost 3 members of a top secret strike force in a row but he they are probably all accidents anyway so no reason to be alarmed".------------------ Basically the film has too many of such plot holes and moments where the viewer is asked to suspend disbelief. It's also heavily focused on the Israeli point of view, with little room for a more balanced point of view where both sides of the political spectrum are brought into view.

Just finished watching this movie yesterday afternoon and was impressed enough with it to look for reviews on Google. This action movie definitely did not treat one side as all good, the other as all bad. It did, however deal with good and bad people on both sides. I also enjoyed the love story in this movie, not hokey as in so many movies, and could have realistically taken place; not something just thrown in. I would say that this was more of a thinking person's action film! When a certain's assassin's motives were revealed, even he was more understandable. Also, two foes came to somewhat soften their hatred towards one another. Watched the Blade series this weekend and thought it was very good; much better than the Matrix movies. What's one man's junk, is another man's treasure!

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

Yet another low budget b-movie starring the not so bad Lambert. I don't know what to call this movie. I think it's supposed to be a political thriller or something like that. But to me this movie has nothing. No story, no message, it's just a mess.The movie is about a antiterrorist team that screws things up a little and kills the wrong guy? this team is a bunch of amatuers if you ask me ;) and then the terrorist wants his revenge and starts to take them out one by one. Doesn't it sound exiting? I'm sorry but it really isn't!I think this john glen guy should consider a career change because if he can't do any better then this... well do i have to say more. If you must see this movie for some strange reason prepare to be bored and annyoed with bad acting and bad scripting.
