Rating:  - Not a kid but this movie was made by one
Terrible acting. Whoever said Christopher Lambert can act should be forced to watch this movie over and over again until the truth is made quite clear: HE CANT ACT. Take what could have been a great movie like "The Sicilian" where Lambert plays the title role. He is so bad and so unconvincing as the character. I laughed out loud when he tried being emotional because he completely failed at it. As far as this movie goes Lambert sounds like he has laryngitis through the whole movie (even more so than ...

Rating:  - B-Action Starring Lambert and Kerry Fox ("Shallow Grave")
Just another B-action flick starring Christopher Lambert. I didn't expect much, but some names on the cover interested me; they were co-starring Kerry Fox ("Shallow Grave" and "Intimacy"), and the director John Glen, who is behind the camera of James Bond films made in the 1980s (from "For Your Eyes Only" to "Licence to Kill"). Not that I mean his works are great -- Roger Moore played Bond at that time, and good as he was, the actions were not particulary great. But Kerry Fox is another matter.

Rating:  - Lambert really can act...
If you are a Lambert fan (like me), then you'll be surprised by his performance in this movie. It ranks up with Mortal Kombat in films he actually pulls off well.
However, if you're looking for a good story, stick with Highlander.
Rating:  - "I might be stupid, but I'm not crazy"
Fans of Christopher Lambert will be willing to see any movie he is in, regardless of the apparent quality of the feature. If you are not a fanatic of his films, more likely than not you might remember him from the Highlander moviess, his most mainstream work. The rest of us know him from such B grade action thrillers as Resurrection, Gunmen, Knight Moves, and Beowulf. Fear not, as The Point Men has a much higher quality level than most of his features, and this can be likely attributed to having a seasoned ... Read More
Rating: - Subpar, hasty adaptation of a decent novel
The Heat of Ramadan, Steven Hartov's first novel, deserved a better film adaptation than this low budget, poorly edited disappointment. The plot was very promising and you could sense the potential. Perhaps veteran action film director John Glen (The Wild Geese, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) ran short of time, money, or talent.
For a better film on international terrorism, try instead The Little Drummer Girl, directed by George Roy Hill in 1984 and based on the novel by John Le Carre.
