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!

Usually I despise these direct to video action films, but something about The Point Men struck me, and I walked away with a smile on my face. This film is much better then some recent major studio movies that dealt with terrorism; I am of course talking about the disappointing Collateral Damage and the god-awful Bad Company. The film doesn't really go for too much style, instead the action scenes are raw and bloody. I've always enjoyed Christopher Lambert, he's not a great actor but he gives it his all; like he does here. Nothing to seek out, but if you are looking for a good way to kill an evening, Point Men is a lot better then most are giving it credit for.

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

I have seen most of Christopher Lamberts movies. I have several favourites like "Highlander 1-3" (of course, Resurrection, Fortress and "The Hunted". I think that "Fortress 2" wasn´t that good, so I really was looking forward to this movie. Lambert plays the agent Tony from Israel(!), he is hunting a terrorist with his group. They kill a guy, who they think is the terrorist but Tony is sure that they have killed the wrong dude. One by one the terrorist (with his new plasticsurgery-face) kills Tonys groupmembers. It´s easy to understand what will happen next. The filming is like they have made the film with a handycam. It is very low-budget-style when they have their carchase in the beginning of the film. Lamberts performance is very solid and I really hope that he will find a better script, because the other film he has made this year also became a sad story for us Lambert-fans. We want you back in the parts that made you the one you are today. Like in "Knight moves", "The Hunted" or "resurrection". It doesnt have to be a fantastic story like in "Beowulf" or "Mortal Kombat" but something that you can understand and still is very exciting. I can not say other than that this movie was a cheap try to make a political thriller. 4 / 10
