What Do You Think?
There’s something great about these 1970’s crime thrillers, the way the feel and look really sets them apart from other eras.
This is another classic from the that decade which I highly recommend you watch and purchase on 4K Ultra HD or Blu-ray.
So I’m a fan of this movie but what do you think of it? Will you be picking it up come June?
