Movie Reviews of Felon (+BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Blu review on a phenomenal film...
Summary: 5 Stars

A truly good film that deserves more exposure than it has gotten. It finally got upgraded to making the distributor posters after languishing in the middle of the order magazines for a couple months. I was hesitant as typically they bury these lesser known titles for a reason. Instead, this turned out to be a brutal, yet emotional film to the end.

The story is simple enough with our main character being imprisoned after accidentally killing an intruder. His life becomes a fast lesson in surviving the hell of State level incarceration. The depth and story building from there gets very raw and detailed. Even the guards' personal life gets viewed, making for a non-typical foray into the bad character's way of living. Val Kilmer redeems himself after that Conspiracy mess here, and actually made for a very believable mass murderer. Sam Shepherd is always a welcome screen presence, and Marisol Nichols was brave enough to bare all in what had to be a tough scene.

Now for the Blu angle - wow. So much of this film is in your face close ups and directly involved fight sequences. Watching the accompanying docu, the filmmakers used hand helds to get right in the middle of the mess. The Blue showed it all - every single pore and every single drop of sweat and blood. Did the usual over abundance of pauses and found no flaws. This was the first Blu film (I have seen) that had a time lapse topography shot - and it looked outstanding. The accompanying doc was only 14 minutes long but it gave good insight into the authenticity of the cast and location shooting. Let's just say the title of the film represents quite a few of our on screen actors in this one.

A worthwhile owner, and is a rewatchable film - but only in Blu. I could not imagine watching this in LD after seeing this much clarity and detail.
