What happens

Point Blank is a 1967 American crime film directed by John Boorman, starring Lee Marvin, co-starring Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn and Carroll O'Connor, and adapted from the 1962 crime noir pulp novel The Hunter, the first in the Parker series of crime novels written by Donald E. Westlake under the nom de plume of Richard Stark. Boorman directed the film at Marvin's request and Marvin played a central role in the film's development. The film grossed more than $9 million in theatrical rentals in 1967, and since then has gone on to become a cult classic, eliciting praise from such critics as film historian David Thomson. In 2016, Point Blank was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry.
