Watch Black Point For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A lot of fun.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

**SPOILER** It's obvious as soon as you see him that fish packer and part-time delivery boy John Hawkins, David Caruso,is not exactly playing with a full deck. The guy is hounded by guilt feelings in him having lost his little girl Gabby two years ago in a shopping mall during the Christmas Holidays. Thats when someone snatched Gabby from behind while Hawkins was mindlessly window-shopping. That tragic event lead to Hawkins becoming deeply depressed and having his wife, who held him responsible in Gabby being kidnapped, leaving him.While working at Standing Bear's, Gordon Tootoosis, outdoor fish market Hawkins makes a delivery to the newly arrived, from Alaska, Travis residences and falls heads over heels for the lady of the house Natalie, Susan Haskell. The trouble for Hawkins is that Natalie is married to Gus Travis, Thomas Ian Griffith. Gus is the kind of guy that you don't fool around with especially with his wife Natalie!The movie "Black Point", the name of a fishing village in Washington State, has Gus involved in a blotched FBI raid of a Cantonese gang up in Alaska. This leads to a number of FBI men getting blown away, by the Cantonese, and Gus ending up with the over three million dollars in drug money that they were trying to launder.It's later that the money suddenly disappears, after a deadly shootout at the Travis house, with Gus determined to find it before his boss or "Boss of Bosses" the elegant and soft spoken Malcolm, Miguel Sandoval, puts a hit on him. What Malcolm has to do with the stolen money is never quite made clear in the movie. It seems as if Malcolm was in league with the Cantonese gangsters or in fact their boss? It soon becomes clear to Gus that Hawkins was somehow responsible in the rip off of his cash in that his gun was found at the scene of the robbery! That together with Gus' dead kid brother Crazy Eddy,Travis Macdonald, who with one of Gus' hoods were killed in the shootout.The movie then has Gus and his gang try to get their hands on Hawkins and find out not only where the money is but if he's in fact having an affair with his wife Natalie! There are so many confusing side-plots in the movie that by the time its finally over your not quite sure who the good or and guys in it really are. Gus is a bit unstable and paranoid but he's far more normal then the movie's fair haired hero Hawkins ever is. We have Hawkins together with Gus and Natalie playing a number of mind numbing mind games with each other all throughout the remainder of the film. These crazy and mindless actions makes you wounder if the trio aren't all on LSD in just how utterly ridicules they are. In the end Gus, after being shot beaten and almost burned alive, finally does get his hands on his hard earned money. But by then it's no used to him anymore with Natalie, his one and only love and soul-mate, leaving him for the less then on the ball, due to his his almost non-stop drinking, Hawkins.P.S I notice that the police force-all two of them- at Black Point were not only unprofessional in their keeping the bad guys out of town but were also very ridicules in handling the towns top troublemaker the drunk and unruly John Hawkins. Not only is Hawkins, who has a long list on felonies on his rap sheet, allowed to carry a firearm but is never given a ticket for not fixing the headlights on his pickup truck! It was the left-front headlight that was busted when a drunk and foul mouth Hawkins almost sideswiped a truck in a game, that only Hawkins' was playing, of chicken. A headlight that the not that all too bright Hawkins ever even bothered to repair!

It gets 8 point because of Carusos performance. High performing as usual the Ex-NYPD-cop gets the best out of an otherwise very thin plot.Ex-marine loses his beloved daughter & falls in love with the woman of a high-rolling gangster.The woman - desperately wanting to leave her abusive husband - uses the ex-marine to get away from her marriage. Unfortunately the plot gets stuck in the sand when the woman changes her mind and decides to be on the ex-marines side AGAIN. How desperate must a guy be to take a woman back who put the wool over his eyes and made him a target for her enraged husband? The love scene was very awkward. I mean - having seen other Caruso movies I think the guy has some issues with kissing before camera. Anyway the guy's got so much potential and wastes it in a B-movie

I don't really know why I am bothering to comment on "Black Point". It is a really ordinary effort, even for a "B"-flick. Whilst I didn't sit down to watch this film (well DVD actually) with any high expectations, I was still disappointed with it. The acting was pedestrian at best but it was the script which really irritated. Things start out OK but as the plot progresses it makes less and less sense, such that the last 30 minutes are just a frenzied mess. It's bad, but unfortunately, not bad enough to be funny.

The writers probably meant for this to be a serious action flick. It's so funny you'll want to stand on a block of ice and put a rope around your neck. David Caruso left NYPD for an acting career??See this film for a good laugh.
