Movie Reviews of The Professionals [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: One of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan and Woody Strode make this flick great. Hired by a train baron to bring back his kidnapped wife, they soon find that all is not what it seems. The acting is terse and intense and, for all the twists and turns, you're still left wondering what happens next when the movie ends. Not a lot of gunfights and explosions, although there's enough to satisfy. Instead, it's the mental game of cat and mouse that takes the forefront here and delivers pretty good.

Movie Review: A classic Western beautifully presented on Blu-ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this after reading about it on the net, having never seen the movie. This is a man movie, make no mistake. Burt Lancaster. Lee Marvin. Jack Palance. What more needs to be said? The characters are cool, the action is well scripted, the dialog near-perfect, and the cinematography is beautiful. The sound is surprisingly good for a 40+ year old flick. Sony did this Blu-ray right...no nasty DNR to smear away details and remove grain here...you will believe you are watching film. I didn't notice any video artifacts on my 50" Sony A3000 SXRD HDTV. Lee Marvin's line at the end of the movie is priceless. And it's only $19.95 on Amazon. Great movie, great Blu-ray transfer, great price. Buy it.Movie Review: The Professionals

Dear Amazon:
The classic western "The Professionals" in Blu-Ray was so clear and great sound quality for an old classic. The vivid colors and effects were so nice to see in this classic. Please continue your restoration process in making the classics available in the Blu-Ray mode.
The actors, the plot and the special touch of the classic western movie makes this movie a collector's dream.
Sincerely,

Movie Review: A classic film and a great Western
Summary: 5 Stars
The Professionals not only has a great cast, but each actor gives one of their best career performances. Combined these performances with an exceptional script and a talented director (Richard Brooks) and you have a classic.
Some compare The Professionals (1966) to The Magnificent Seven (1960) and The Wild Bunch (1969) and find it lacking when stacked against these other two classics. All three stories are about mercenaries on a mission inside Mexico and each portrays comradeship, disillusionment, and a lament for a fading era. Each film, however, is a distinct work. The Professionals fits between these other two films, both stylistically and chronologically. All three films broke new ground within the genre and each deserves to be judged on its own merits. Every Western library should include all three and they're fun to watch sequentially.
