MERCENARY FOR JUSTICE has just had a digital rerelease in the UK (April 5, 2021) from Signature Entertainment. I believe this is newly created artwork for the film, which has already had so many different pieces of key art.

Thanks to Lee for posting the link to the article "The King of the Geezer Teasers: Inside Randall Emmett’s direct-to-video empire, where many Hollywood stars have found lucrative early retirement" by Joshua Hunt. Here's some quotes from the section on Michael Oblowitz: "Oblowitz was, by his...

The JOHN WICK comparison is a pretty good one. In terms of OFAK's aesthetic, it's very similar to that of the JW films. With a bit more love and attention, this really could have been the JW of its day. As it was, it just ended up disappointing and confusing pretty much everyone, myself...

Oh, I'm in no doubt about the shortcomings of both films. But I do respect that OFAK is a very distinctive, stylish film. I think even with the problems appropriately addressed that it would still have that going for it. It's flaws are a part of that experience. As for your accusation of...

Thanks for this, Dida. I've always been curious to find out more about Michael Oblowitz's views on these movies. Like them or not, you can't help but be struck by their distinctiveness and how different they are in tone and style. (It's the wilder, colourful OFAK that I like best of the two.)...

Finally scheduled to come out in the UK on August 31.

I used to believe FLIGHT OF FURY was his worst film, but then he went and made SNIPER: SPECIAL OPS. I know he's only a support player in it, but he was highlighted as the star and that was hard to get over. (It wasn't so bad when it was done with AGAINST THE DARK because he was at least active...

It's disappointing to see 365Flix has already shifted from its main proposition and is now offering only pay-per-view fights as new content.

I'm in the south east of England. An hour from London.

Thanks @SteDu, @JohnHatcher, @Kotegashi. It's pretty weird seeing my novice video being shared! Hoping it drives more people to check out the review on our podcast!

Watched ATTRITION for the third time last night. Great to finally see it on a big screen properly now I have the DVD. Decent subtitles and good picture quality. I still think it's a great film but there certainly are parts that make me laugh unintentionally. (Like the part where a bad guy gives...

Got my copy today. I thought I'd do one of those "unboxing" videos to commemorate! [I've never made a video before so if you do happen to watch it please bear that in mind.] http://bit.ly/DTVDigestUnboxing1+

Don't see why not. Worth asking them. I think it's just that you can't watch online.

365flix stated that the hard copies of the film would "ship 60 days from the world premiere." That date was November 13 but I haven't had any notification of dispatch, so I sent them a message. They replied... "The items are currently in manufacturing and will definitely ship from the U.K. this...

Fair comment. I didn't realise that. I only recently heard about it and thought it was gathering dust on a shelf somewhere.

Sigh! I was hoping we might get VIKTOR starring Gérard Depardieu. They stated they were going to release 1 film a month and none of these 6 would fit the bill for an "exclusive" release (as far as I can tell) that will provide fans the chance to chat with one of the stars. So they must have an...

That's what I thought. Derogatory, but really well written and reasoned. It's a perspective I think my DTV Digest colleague would share. I think this film is really only going to satisfy the most hardcore and forgiving fans.

The winner was Sharon Melching from Ohio, USA. (She's been showing up in my Facebook feed a lot with her posts after I liked her ATTRITION page thinking it was official) I confess I feel quite jealous, but to be honest I didn't participate. I wrote a review and felt it would undermine the...
