Based on the best-selling graphic novel, BLOODSHOT is the origin story of the world's ultimate super soldier Ray Garrison. After returning from deployment, Ray and his wife both get kidnapped and killed by a complete stranger. Ray wakes up, miraculously resurrected by a team of scientists who've injected him with nanotechnology that provide healing and regenerative powers, superhuman strength, and near-immortality. He uses his second chance at life to get revenge. But, it turns out the very scientists who saved Ray are manipulating him. They rewrite his memories so every mission he believes he's an honourable hero, righting the wrong of his wife's death, but is actually an unwitting weapon assassinating their designated targets. When Ray finally realises it's all been a lie and he is merely a pawn in their game, he must fight for his freedom and find a way to stop the cycle.

Alex Cox's Three Businessman is an existentialist fable for the independent businessman. Two travelling art dealers staying in a labyrinthine Liverpool hotel, Frank King (Alex Cox) and Bennie Reyes (Miguel Sandoval of Clear and Present Danger), sit down for dinner only to find that the hotel staff have deserted them. They begin to walk the Mersey streets in search of sustenance, talking about dogs, dinner, the "Plutonium" credit card and the state of the world. But lost without a map, they inadvertently wander half way across the world on public transport in search of their hotel, touching down in Rotterdam, Hong Kong, Japan and Spain. In a desert, they come across a third businessman, Leroy Jasper (Robert Wisdom), clutching a replica of the Mir space station. Soon after, they stumble across a food stand outside a small abode that holds within it the true object of their quest. It is a destination that they have found without looking for. This small, mannered movie grows in stature as it progresses. Sandoval and Cox are amiably crotchety travelling companions. Aided and abetted by jump cuts, the surrealist conceit that allows the businessman to roam across the world without ever realising they have left Liverpool is distinctly Bunuelian (cf. the name of Cox's production company Exterminating Angel Films). On the DVD: An amusing commentary by Alex Cox and writing partner and producer Tod Davies has the added bonus of Cox acting out deleted scenes. The feature appears in widescreen format with an excellent sound and picture transfer, enhanced by Pray for Rain's melancholic soundtrack. But the Debbie Harry and Iggy Pop promo video promised on the sleeve and liner notes does not appear anywhere on the disc. --Chris Campion
A startlingly effective and provocative drama, La Mission is about more than a father's battle to overcome his homophobia, it's also a powerful story of the redemptive power of love. Jessie hasn't had the easiest of lives, having to deal with the loss of his mother whilst trying to carve out a life as a gay man in New York's infamously volatile 'barrio' district. But things are about to get a lot harder when his homophobic father, Che (Benjamin Bratt) gets released from prison. Initially reacting to Jessie's revelation with violence and fear, Che is soon forced to choose between his old sense of pride and his love for the only thing that really means anything to him in this world - his son.
