Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (1) David Ansen Newsweek More than anything, Fonda gives this glossy, reasonably entertaining rerun an American raison d'etre. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Point of No Return is actually a fairly effective and faithful adaptation [of La Femme Nikita], and Bridget Fonda manages the wild identity-swings of her role with intensity and conviction. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (4) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a rather irresistible premise that's employed to erratic yet mostly compelling effect... Rated: 3/4 Dec 29, 2020 Full Review Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's by no means awful, but I won't re-watch it any time soon, unless I intend to gawk at Bridget Fonda. Aug 21, 2014 Full Review Point of No Return | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Hollywood, in its infinite wisdom, figures it can make better American pulp than the French can. As it turns out, Hollywood is right. Rated: B Sep 22, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

J L Action packed, great script and acting by Fonda. Never a dull moment in this thriller about a young addict turned CIA operative, not by choice. This is one of my favorite movies which showcases the fierce independence of the lead, who is a loner, desperately wanting her freedom from the gruesome tasks she is forced to engage in for the Agency; which was a trade off to avoid incarceration for her previous crimes. A must see! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Geke g Thats how to make masterpiece thriller Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T Successfully overcame with the hard situation. Respect that. Liked the whole story. How sad movie is it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review John A John Badham's Hollywoodisms actually suit the screenplay quite well. I really can't compare this to Besson's original because that film was a more artsy subtle and very euro kind of character study. Fonda fits the role like a glove. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 43 minutes ever!!!!!!!! Starring Bridget Fonda as a cop shooter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Ray C Not too bad, would have liked more action and less talk in the middle.Seen better in the same genre.
