Gorgeous Friedkin Magic

4

Not my favourite Friedkin but probably his best looking film. A wild ride with incredible direction and great performances from an awesome cast. Well worth picking up.

Buddy, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The film itself is incredibly moody and builds to a rather devastating climax. I have to mention that in watching this again for the first time in a few years, I was struck by a not very subtle strain of homoeroticism running through the film, with lots of shots of tight (male) jeans and at least a smattering of male nudity. The bottom line is that this is good release form Arrow.

An almost forgotten treasure

This is one of just a small handful of 80s thrillers that were done right. The distinct Wang Chung soundtrack enhances a methodically shot and edited narrative, and both William Peterson and Willem Dafoe's performances keep you glued to the screen throughout. For those who haven't seen the movie, the ending will seem disappointing to most, but don't let that put you off what is an otherwise expertly crafted thriller from one of the greatest directors. I also love the reversible box art, as always, from Arrow - it's definitely one of the nicer covers. The picture and sound quality is also excellent.

Seminal 80s movie

5

Probably the last great film by Friedkin. Excessive and super stylish, captures the decade phenomenally. The performances by William Petersen and Willem Dafoe are striking, Peterson as the hotheaded cop and Dafoe the criminal with a sense for art. Wang Chung`s score and Robby Mueller`s cinematography are giving yet more specific quality to this masterpiece where nothing is black and white and all very very shady. When it comes to this edition, the Blu Ray is very filmic and sharp, being a marked improvement to the already excellent DVD included, while the sound quality has an even bigger impact on the Blu Ray. The extras are also excellent and this is a must have edition for people who love this movie and to all who are yet to be introduced to it. Well done Arrow !
