HANDGUN (aka DEEP IN THE HEART - 1983) Fun City Editions Blu-ray Review




Fun City Editions brings to Blu-ray the 1983 revenge film HANDGUN (aka DEEP IN THE HEART), British director Tony Garnett's look at American (and specifically Texan) gun culture through the eyes of a Boston schoolteacher (Karen Young) assaulted by a smarmy acquaintance (Clayton Day), and her subsequent journey toward payback.


Presented in a gorgeous, clean transfer that drops you right into early 80s Dallas, with great use of real locations and non-actors in supporting roles, really giving you the feel of time and place. Solid extras and great throwback packaging (especially if you haunted 80s video stores and have a fondness for the look of old Thorn-EMI or HBO Video tapes) make it another nice rescue from obscurity by FCE.

DOGMAN (2023) Theatrical Review

  Luc Besson returns to directing with an odd action-drama, DOGMAN, starring Caleb Landry Jones as a wheelchair-bound drag performer and master of an army of canines ready to growl and prowl on his command. Points for using actual trained dogs and not CGI foolery, proof that things can still be done the old fashioned way and (shockily!) be all the more impressive for it.
