Point Blank (1967)

 

After being double-crossed and left for dead, a mysterious man named Walker single-mindedly tries to retrieve the money that was stolen from him.

Innovativingly leftfield thriller enhances its Noir plot with great style and imaginative non-linear story-telling; you may easily call it: cool."

Halliwell*: "Extremely violent gangster thriller, well shot on location and something of a cult, but with irritating pretentiousness and obscure plot points."

Maltin***1/2: "Taut thriller, ignored in 1967, but now regarded as a top film of the decade." 

Ulzana's Raid (1972)

 

After fierce war chief Ulzana and a small war party jump the reservation bent on murder and terror, an inexperienced young lieutenant is assigned to track him down. 

Relentlessly tough and violent Western shows no sympathy for any side of the conflict, which may seem dubious, but rather emanates a quite nihilistic viewpoint.

Halliwell (no star): "Bloodthirsty, reactionary Western with unpleasant shock moments." 

 

Maltin***1/2: "Gritty Western tale...with jarring bursts of violence."
