Paramedics and age-old best friends Steve (Anthony Mackie) and Dennis (Jamie Dornan) begin to find themselves at the scenes of unusual overdoses, murders, and deaths.

Streaming On Netflix: On Joe Lynch’s POINT BLANK, Must Love Movies, Babies And Top 10 Hits Of Ths 80s
Everly and Mayhem helmer Joe Lynch‘s latest feature outing, Point Blank, will be a testament for some critics as to how some remakes fare compared to others. Produced under the auspices of production banner banner WarParty Films, the magnifying glass will especially hover for folks curious of its future endeavors, including a remake of a certain Indonesian crime thriller. It helps that enough time has lapsed for a film like Fred Cavayé’s 2010 thriller to still carry some viability for moviegoers. History notes the film would’ve once had Mark Wahlberg involved in some capacity, which probably makes the casting of Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars Frank Grillo and Anthony Mackie all the more buoyant for fans of both actors. Following most of Cavayé’s formula with screenwriter and co-star Adam G. Simon (Man Down) adding his own touch, it’s not too long before registered nurse, Paul (Mackie) finds himself ambushed in his […]
