A terrible Americanized re-make of a decent Luc Besson film ("La Femme Nikita"). Luc's film is better since it doesn't rely on the graphic violence for the plot to be made and the storyline is more believable with the actions scenes being more plausible. The fact that any originality in "The Point Of No Return" is lacking made this film even more the worse. Now don't get me wrong here, Bridget is a decent actress, but never in all the years has she really stole my thoughts as to being top notch. To be honest, she just has that adorable girl look that does OK as an actress (she had a big legacy to follow anyway, considering her aunt and father).
But the script in this disaster did her an injustice in any event, since it was downright awful. No director and especially an actor, could have worked doing ad-lib with this script (Badham isn't really that good of a director in the first place). The stunt scenes were so implausible as to be laughable, they should leave those kinds of scenes for the James Bond type movies since they fit in well with that genre.
I need not say anymore, as I am not trying to be negative as much as realistic; I simply couldn't think of even one positive at all.
