point blank (M28)

lee marvin. angie dickenson. marvin gets ripped off by "reese". at a heist at alcatraz, "reese" kills the victims, instead of just knocking them out. there's not as much money as he expected, so he shoots marvin, leaving him for dead and taking his wife. turns out that reese , marvin and his wife were a happy threesome (until this episode) and the wife was happy enough to go with reese except she wasn't happy that marvin got killed. marvin makes a deal with keenan wynn (who he takes for a cop), that keenan will help him find reese and marvin will help him. keenan gives marvin, marvin's wife's address, but reese is not there. he has left marvin's wife. marvin's wife commits suicide, but when her monthly alimony cash arrives, marvin finds out that a used car salesman might know something. marvin finds out that his wife's sister might know something. people higher up in the organization (reese used marvin's 93,000 dollars to buy his way back into the organization) put reese in a penthouse, so that marvin will try to gain entrance and get killed. marvin uses dickenson, his wife's sister, and she goes up to the penthouse. marvin goes up there and tussling with "reese", reese falls off the roof and dies. marvin mistreats angie and she leaves in a huff. marvin goes to someone higher in the organization and he sets up a drop to pay marvin, but it's just a set up for marvin to get killed, so the higher up gets killed. marvin looks up angie, whose life was destroyed because of her role in killing reese and marvin takes her to archie bunker's house. angie is pissed at marvin, but they make love and make up. archie shows up. marvin wants money, but the only cash part of the business is the drop at alcatraz. they go to alcatraz. the money is dropped off by helicopter and someone shoots archie. it is keenan wynn who is really part of the organization. archie lies there with the money next to him. the end.
