Negative Positive
Title: Have seen the film, but not the disc yet
Review: This is one of the best crime films from the 70s, on par with The Friends of Eddie Coyle, The French Connection and some of Sidney Lumet's films. But, contrary to Amazon's credits here, Richard Gere is NOT one of the main stars of this film (one of his first, I guess). He has like 5 minutes of screen time as a sleazy pimp. The main stars are Michael Moriarty, Yaphet Kotto, Susan Blakely and Hector Elizondo, amongst others, all of whom do a fine job. I have not seen it on disc yet, so I am not aware of the transfer quality. I recently purchased one of MGM's limited collection, QUEEN OF BLOOD, which looked excellent. However, MGM has had some problems off-and-on with disc quality issues, etc, with this limited edition collection of releases.
Is the review positive or negative?
