| CRITICAL COMMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "As entertainment it might be fodder for the most die-hard Lambert fans. Still, it looks cheap and amateurish compared to some of his more high profile films." -- Gil Jawetz, DVDTalk.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "If I were in the Mossad, I would be severely pissed off with this movie, because it essentially portrays Israeli intelligence as a bunch of well-meaning bumblers." -- Nathan Shumate, Cold Fusion Video Reviews | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Ultimately, The Point Men becomes nothing more than a series of pointless scenes with gun-wielding men having shootouts in an assortment of public places." -- Rich Rosell, DigitallyObsessed.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
