Under Fire | DVD | (06/05/2002)
from £8.23
| Saving you £4.76 (57.84%)
| RRP Under Fire was one of a trio of notable films from the mid-1980s about journalists involved in Third World war zones. While certainly a lesser film than Salvador (1986) or The Killing Fields (1984) Roger Spottiswoode's movie is still a commendable work from a director who later brought a similarly political edge to Noriega: God's Favourite (2000). Nick Nolte plays an American photo-journalist covering the civil war in Nicaragua in 1979, finding himself caught in a dangerous and cynical web of duplicity and self-interest, as well as falling in love with fellow American, Claire (Joanna Cassidy). Nolte gradually uncovers the degree of his own government's involvement with the corrupt regime, and inevitably ends up crossing the line from neutral observer to helping the rebel cause. Under Fire is in essence a reworking of Casablanca, especially as Gene Hackman's network newsman proves to be Cassidy's ex-lover, yet thanks to an intelligent script, strong support from Ed Harris as a mercenary and some genuinely unnerving and frightening scenes of the random chaos of war, it's one which packs a powerful punch. Jerry Goldsmith's evocative score is among his best of the 1980s.On the DVD: Under Fire is presented in an anamorphic 1.77:1 transfer which is very clean and clear with minimal grain. The well-mixed Dolby Pro-logic soundtrack is highly effective, if not so startling as a 5.1 track. Beyond multi-language and subtitle options, the only extra is the original trailer, which is also anamorphically enhanced. --Gary S Dalkin
Wolcott | Blu Ray | (17/08/2015)
from £8.99
| Saving you £11.00 (122.36%)
| RRP A groundbreaking, high-calibre police drama, Wolcott was the first British production purposefully broadcast in the mini-series format and also the first British police drama to feature a black actor in a leading role. Displaying the same rough, streetwise vibe as The Sweeney, Wolcott stars the charismatic George William Harris as a tough, loner detective with a gift for rubbing people up the wrong way. Winning massive viewing figures, its controversially unflinching depiction of racism and crime ensured that it has never been repeated or released in any format until now. With all four episodes now transferred in High Definition from the original film elements, Wolcott includes early roles for Christopher Ellison, Hugh Quarshie, Warren Clarke and Rik Mayall cast against type as a racist policeman. Fresh out of uniform, supremely confident and keen to make waves, Wolcott is a man in the middle, facing hostility both from the community he polices and his colleagues in the Force. His investigations into the fatal stabbing of an old woman soon uncover a brutal drug war being fought between rival criminal gangs...

from £7.49
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP Arriving in London in search of fame, fortune, and more cultural stimulation than Essex could provide, beautiful but naïve Jim finds himself jobless, penniless and renting a cardboard box from a homeless man. Still smiling, Jim catches the eyes of The Raconteurs; a unique troupe of high-class male escorts specialising in cultural, post-coital conversation. Jim's got the looks and the charm, but to reach his true potential he must learn everything there is to know about renaissance art. There's just one problem; when Jim sees a masterpiece a real masterpiece he is overwhelmed, becomes one with the art and faints. Despite this, Jim takes the neon-lit streets of Soho by storm, to find himself as the ultimate muse. Starring British rising star Harris Dickinson (Beach Rats, Trust), Postcards From London is a beautifully shot homage to the spirit of Derek Jarman and a celebration of a forgotten Soho.

Murder At 1600 | DVD | (01/10/1999)
from £16.69
| Saving you £-2.70 (N/A%)
| RRP The discovery of a dead female staffer in a White House restroom galvanizes a D.C. homicide cop (Wesley Snipes), but the results aren't hard to predict: the crime implicates the Oval Office, the presidential bureaucracy impedes the investigation, and so on. What isn't so predictable is that the whole thing leads to an improbable climax involving secret tunnels created by Abraham Lincoln. (Snipes's character, by the way, is a Civil War buff.) The creaky mystery feels a little anachronistic from the get-go, with some particularly corny and laughable dialogue. --Tom Keogh
