Charles Bronson’s Violent City 1970 Blu-ray Releases May 2022

88 Films are due to release the Charles Bronson film Violent City (1970) on Blu-ray this May 2022 in the UK.

The Italian crime thriller also stars Telly Savalas and Jill Ireland. I should also mention the film’s really cool score provided by Ennio Morricone.

This 88 Films Blu-ray release comes on 2 discs. The picture quality should be fine as its a new 4K remastered transfer, so fingers crossed this version looks amazing.

That said I’ll be reviewing it so I will be able to confirm whether or not that is indeed the case.
