Glad to see one of one numerous great UK boutique labels pick this one up & give it a much needed restoration & stellar release. A 90's gem for sure. One of two films from the year 1990 that I've always regarded as the most underrated & one of my most beloved films of that decade, the other film being Hal Hartley's 'Trust' which I also hope gets a beautiful boutique release at some point. I'm grateful to Radiance for this one, my favourite of their releases so far. Reminds me that I'm overdue grabbing a copy of Welcome To The Dolls House too which I was also pleased to see they brought out.

Graham, you inspired me to break out my copy and watch it over the weekend, and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing it again, for sure, and I am glad that I blind bought this one. It was high on my list to see the past few years since I first heard of it, and with Radiance putting out such a nice edition and there not being other places where it was easy to see, I ordered their release and got it back in August or early September. Then, as I often do, I set it on the shelf and continued to watch other things since then. Your videos both about the watch pile and then this review prompted me to go ahead and check it out, and I am glad I did!

I just blind ordered the movie this morning after skimming the description then skipped to the end of your video for a summary, haha. I always like to know if you dig it, makes me feel more confident about the purchase- always love the reviews! Picked up Messiah of Evil too, can't wait to add some Radiance to my shelf.

@@manvfilm it was great! What a wild opening 10 minutes! Gorgeous flick with some crazy action sequences. Those races with the women on top of the trucks was pure insanity- I can't believe she wanted him after almost getting her killed - on her birthday no less, haha.

@hesaidgoosaid the title is a little misleading, you don’t realise it’s gonna be as action fuelled as it is.

I'm tempted to get this. How much melodrama is there i.e. cheesy music, slow motion crying, romantic interludes etc. Thanks.

Oh this is not that kind of movie at all? That stuff is minimal.
