Title: GREAT film but AWFUL video
Review: I love this movie. The dialogue is poetry -- it contains some of the best lines I've ever heard in a movie. (And yes, I am talking about a Charles Bronson movie!) However, I urge you to avoid the video and wait to catch it on commercial TV. Ordinarily, I'd never ever say that, but this video is unique. It isn't letterboxed, but it isn't pan-and-scan, either. It's as if the camera just sits in the center of a wide scene and the actors come and go in and out of sight. Terribly frustrating. I even ended up giving my copy away. I'd go so far as to call this a truly great movie, but you're missing out if you let the video be your first exposure to it.
