What is the point of this movie?


I have seen this movie over the years about 3-4 times total and still have not been able to discern a major point that this movie is supposed to make. Is it a love story, light action, thriller, but whatever it is, what's the main point of the movie...it just doesn't seem to make much sense....it does have decent car chase though...but someone please advise......

I felt the same way about OUT OF THE PAST but not in a negative way. No point. Just artistry. This movie I feel actually tries covering things deeper. Yes, the whole middle honeymoon scenes are dumb, light porn and vapid. But it took Bridges a while to land her and to try getting her but with Mitch and Greer it was too quick, too easy, just like finding her was in the original, and in ODDS he had some... odds, and had to actually search, and search some more.
