The Killers Blu-ray Review – 1964 Remake

Have you seen the 1964 version of The Killers? Having just watched the classic 1946 film starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner I decided to check out the Lee Marvin one, also out on Blu-ray. Time for The Killers Blu-ray review 1964.

Firstly if you like myself loved the film noirness of the Burt Lancaster film, that style have gone in this version and replaced with a sixties vibe. Also the story in this version is told through the point of view of the killer where as the 1946 one has us following a life insurance investigator.

Play Dirty Blu-ray Review – 1968 Underrated Michael Caine Film

So time to look back at a classic British war film which maybe not quite as well known as some other I could mention. Anyway here is my Play Dirty Blu-ray review.

The name of film perfectly captures what this movie is all about. War is not played fairly by the rules, not unless you are watching a typical Hollywood version of events.

Play Dirty is a film that dares to show the nastier side that often occurs in the real world and in this case World War II during the North Africa Campaign.
