Point Blank

Point Blank (À bout portant, 2010) is a French action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Nurse Samuel Pierret saves the wrong patient, and within hours armed men have his pregnant wife and an ultimatum.

Break their boss out of the hospital, past the cops and the security, or never see her again. Samuel isn't a fighter — he's a guy in scrubs thrown into a city that suddenly wants him dead. Gilles Lellouche, Roschdy Zem and Gérard Lanvin lead a chase that tears through the Paris metro, stairwells and streets with barely a pause.

Director Fred Cavayé keeps it lean and brutal: 84 minutes, almost no breathing room, not a wasted scene. The short runtime is the point, not a flaw. If you want European action where the stakes are a person rather than a stunt budget, this one delivers. Stream Point Blank (2010) online on iFILM.
