DVD Reviews of Point of No Return
DVD Review: Lots of action with good acting. Keeps you interested.
Summary: 4 Stars
Bridget Fonda did an outstanding job as Nina in this movie. Action throughout with a bit of romance thrown in. You certainly don't know what will happen next and it will keep you in suspense. Good Blu-Ray quality.DVD Review: Never Underestimate Women
Summary: 3 Stars
I think Bridget Fonda does a really good job in this remake of the French movie, "La Femme Nikita". She's very believable in the action scenes and Gabriel Byrne & Harvey Keitel are always great in any movie. I loved seeing Anne Bancroft - she was, as always, superb! The best thing about this movie for me was introducing me to Nina Simone! I had never heard of her before, but when I heard her music (Bridget's character listened to her on her headphones) I had to hear more - I just love Nina's music! Some say the American remakes of foreign films never live up to the original, but I believe this one's worth watching - especially if you've thought women can't handle the tough jobs as well as men.DVD Review: Not a Bad Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I think it is wrong to compare 'Point of No Return' to the original French film, 'Nikita'. After all, they are based in two different cultures at different times. That said, 'Point of No Return' is a very entertaining movie. Sure, it isn't a perfect film, but I don't know many that can not be criticized. Overall, it is a good movie. I agree with those who say that Nina Simone adds a lot of depth to the film. I first heard of her music through this film many years ago. What a gift?! That is worth watching the movie in itself. I would recommend this film to anyone.DVD Review: Point of No Return
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite films - will watch again and again. And Dermot Mulroney, I never tire of!DVD Review: I can't belive the ratings on here.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of my top 5 favorite ever! I am a movie collector and a fan of Hit Man movies and I think this movie is great. I would have liked a little affair/love scene between her and her teacher but what can you do. They left me day dreaming about him making love to her like a wild animal, That actor is so sexy. I did see the French version and it was good too. But this one is by far my favorite version.
Description of Point of No Return
"Bridget Fonda is pure dynamite" (WWOR-TV) as a murderous misfit reprogrammed as a high-tech assassin. Gabriel Byrne and Anne Bancroft co-star in "one of the top thrillers of the year" (ABC Radio Network). Year: 1993 Director: John Badham Starring: Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, Dermot MulroneyPoint of No Return is one of those Hollywood remakes of a European hit in which one can visualize a committee of studio executives sitting around and saying, "Okay, we know what made the original film unique and different and fun. How can we make that same movie and do exactly the opposite?" For-hire director John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) took La Femme Nikita, Luc Besson's undeniably sexy, original, and kitschy French film about a female assassin, and translated it into a calculating, mechanistic American thriller with no distinctive style. Bridget Fonda gamely plays the willowy street punk who becomes a high-society killer, but once that provocative irony is in place, the movie is pretty much a series of by-the-numbers action set pieces. Until, that is, Dermot Mulroney shows up as a love interest; but even that twist can't save this film. You're much better off with the original, subtitles and all. --Tom Keogh
