Beyond Fury (2019)
Beyond Fury is a brilliant low budget film
Director Darren Ward has completed his crime trilogy with the excellent Beyond Fury. His previous films Sudden Fury and A Day Of Violence were very good especially the latter and now Ward has gone further with the gore, violence and the acting is good especially as it's low budget independent British film. Nothing but praise for this film.
Redacted (2007)
Well done Brian De Palma
Brian De Palma is a director who is anti-Hollywood, to the extent he does not care what film he makes. Redacted is one of those films. He is showing what the minority of the US Military are capable of doing. Nothing is new with this theme, remember Oliver Stone's Platoon? A British company Hemdale did the distribution, no major US one would because they were scared. Yes it's now on DVD courtesy of MGM, as well as winning Oscars time flies and people forget. To hell what Gary Sinise says about De Palma, after all Sinise is a Republican and we all know what the worst US President in history did. The right-wing jerk Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction, only for his own gain. Well done Brian De Palma having the guts and ignore greedy and hypocritical mainstream Hollywood.
Vidocq (2001)
VIDOCQ is brilliant!
This is without doubt, VIDOCQ is one of the best French films I have ever seen. Everything about the film is fantastic. The way it was filmed, on hi-def digital video, the acting the plot, and the excellent visual direction of Pitof. Why it hasn't been given a special edition with English subtitles in the extras is beyond me. Lions Gate stated on their website, that they would, but as in the past with them, they are not the most reliable companies with dvds. e.g. CABIN FEVER is cut. HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES also. I have the R1 Canada DVD from Seville and the DVD is superb, despite no subs on the extras, except the music video which is sung in English. All in all, VIDOCQ is great!
