(The parade of scumbags she takes down don\u2019t really stand a chance, and that\u2019s how it should be.) Ferrara builds taut suspense sequences and unapologetically bloody set pieces, up to and including the unforgettable costume party climax, and the all-timer image of our heroine, in a nun\u2019s habit, kissing the bullets that will finish her work.

But it\u2019s worth seeing for the stretches when it works, particularly early on, when Bigelow has a pitch-perfect protagonist in Rebecca Ferguson, whose mixture of vulnerability and toughness has rarely had a stronger showcase.<em> <\/em>The filmmaking is muscular and visceral \u2014 this thing moves like a locomotive \u2014 and Bigelow shows her usual proficiency at inserting jolts of humanity into stressful situations.

But, like del Toro\u2019s earlier <em>Crimson Peak<\/em>, it\u2019s the kind of movie that fails in the modern marketplace but finds its audience, one that can appreciate its leisurely pacing, eye for eccentricity, and doom-laden worldview for the rarities they are, so its addition to the Criterion Collection is most welcome indeed. Performances are strong across the board \u2014 particularly star Bradley Cooper, never better, and Rooney Mara, who gives real life and warmth to the potentially dull character of the \u201cgood girl.\u201d Nathan Johnson\u2019s score is deliciously baroque, costumes are impeccable, and Dan Laustesen\u2019s cinematography is bursting with images of brutal beauty.

The production may have been inharmonious, but the fusing of these two vastly different sensibilities resulted in a fascinating film, allowing Chayevsky\u2019s intellectual concerns and egg-headed dialogue to somehow co-exist with Russell\u2019s typically out-there visual style. William Hurt is terrific (in his film debut, astonishingly) as the brainy psychopathologist who serves as his own guinea pig for a series of increasingly dangerous experiments, while Bob Balaban, in a rare borderline-leading role, provides appropriate counterbalance as his skeptical colleague and friend.

Working from a screenplay by Josh Olson (adapting the 1997 graphic novel), it stars Viggo Mortensen \u2014 the beginning of a fruitful actor\/director collaboration \u2014 as a small-town diner owner whose casual act of heroism brings him the wrong kind of attention. This is some of Mortensen\u2019s best work, supplemented by an as-per-usual deeply lived-in turn by Maria Bello as his wife, and scenery-chewing turns by Ed Harris and (again) William Hurt. If you\u2019ve never seen it, go in knowing as little as possible; if you have, it\u2019s probably overdue for a revisit.

Ripstein eschews the tabloid black-and-white for the rich saturation and artful compositions of an Almodovar movie, and plenty of the dark humor as well. But the winks give way to unnerving bloodshed, particularly in the third act, as the maternal guilt of our \u201cheroine\u201d takes the story into some mighty dark territory.

It was essentially the starter pistol for the lucrative and long-running horror strand of Hammer Films\u2019 output, with director Terence Fisher freely adapting Mary Shelley\u2019s classic book, taking pains to approach the oft-told tale from new angles. Peter Cushing is spot-on as the good doctor, conveying both his idealism and narrow-mindedness, and the screenplay by Jimmy Sangster isn\u2019t just a gore-fest \u2014 in fact, we\u2019re more than halfway into the slender 83-minute running time before the monster is reanimated. Hammer Films were renowned for their rich colors and baroque visual style; both are beautifully captured by this reference-quality 4K restoration.&nbsp; (Includes versions in three aspect ratios, audio commentaries, featurettes, alternate scenes, trailers, and 8mm home movie abridgment.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lionsgatelimited.com\/products\/jacob-s-ladder-4k-steelbook?srsltid=AfmBOorAd_ebKLs9RbfLjFHxR6GqlPWePmjCunJLHIgXb5Jdm61VuPOQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>Jacob\u2019s Ladder<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>When this horror thriller hit theaters in the fall of 1990, audiences didn\u2019t get what they expected from either director Adrian Lyne (known for flashy, fleshy product like <em>Flashdance<\/em> and <em>Fatal Attraction<\/em>) or screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (who\u2019d penned the year\u2019s biggest hit, <em>Ghost<\/em>). Instead of a slick supernatural crowd-pleaser, they crafted a thoroughly disturbing portrait of PTSD and urban paranoia, with Tim Robbins as a Vietnam vet haunted by visions of combat death, New York City decay, and alternate realities. There\u2019s no soft-soaping it: this is pitch-black stuff, nightmare fuel really, but Lyne is commendably dedicated to this dark vision, Robbins is a perfect avatar, Elizabeth Pena is marvelous as his increasingly worried lover, and the supporting cast is full of tremendous talents in early roles.

New to 4K from Arrow, the storytelling isn\u2019t exactly innovative, but it\u2019s a visual feast, allowing Carpenter to indulge in some of the most genuinely odd and experimental imagery of his career, from the drawn-out, doomy images of its early passages to the nightmare logic of its final passages. It\u2019s the best film of Carpenter\u2019s wildly uneven \u201890s, and many of its flaws fall away in the face of one of the filmmaker\u2019s all-time great endings.

(<a href=\"https:\/\/crookedmarquee.com\/stage8\/tag\/harveys-hellhole\">Sound familiar?<\/a>) Now, after never even making its way to Blu-ray, <em>Rampage<\/em> gets a loving 4K package from KL Studio Classics. It\u2019s not exactly a lost gem; the acting is uneven, the courtroom histrionics are a bit much, and despite the lensing by Wes Anderson\u2019s go-to guy Robert Yeoman, it looks pretty low-rent. But the domestic murder scenes are genuinely grisly and upsetting, the tacit commentary on slasher movies is well-aimed, and Friedkin ably uses the genre conventions as cover for a thoughtful exploration of the morality of the death penalty and the insanity defense.

By the time Winner and star Charles Bronson reteamed for this 1985 installment, all vague nods toward reality had long evacuated, and on the comically unconvincing Toronto stand-ins for NYC, they created an all-out cartoon \u2014 a movie closer to <em>The A-Team<\/em> than <em>Taxi Driver<\/em>, an inner-city <em>Rambo<\/em> where the considerable bloodshed and might-makes-right approach is all but deadened by the sheer silliness of the entire enterprise.

A decade earlier, it would have been an AIP picture; a decade later, it would have been a wacky studio comedy. But at this specific point, it could be both of those things and more, with John Kaye\u2019s anything-goes script, Richards\u2019s freewheeling direction, and the charismatic trio at its center (Alan Arkin, Sally Kellerman, and Mackenzie Phillips) taking the viewer on a wild ride where the destination is never certain \u2014 even once they\u2019ve arrived there. It\u2019s funny, sexy, sad, and strange, sometimes all at once, and the supporting cast is a murderer\u2019s row of great character actors: Harry Dean Stanton, Alex Rocco, Richard Hale, and Phillips\u2019s <em>American Graffiti <\/em>co-star Charles Martin Smith.
