Okay, that is subjective. I guess to each his own. I sometimes like abrupt cuts but I hate the fast editing of Hollywood movies more. They never let you look at the image long enough...but that's a different debate.
Matt, I am using the label "disturbing" in a very subjective sense. What disturbs me are abrupt cuts, flashy visuals, stubborn and aggressive protagonists, who talk in a rough and assertive way. This is not to say that "Point Blank" is a bad film. It is good, it holds suspense, it sets the mood... in fact, I do like it. But it disturbs be.
What is disturbing in every sense including conventional, is "The Holy Mountain" by Jodorowsky. Gonna put it here. That is really bad.
Why is Point Blank disturbing? John Boorman directed 'Deliverance', which is considered far more disturbing,
