' The Hit' - Pre-order available at Criterion US for Blu-Ray - $31:96 or DVD - $23.96
Release date: October 20 "Terence Stamp is Willie, a gangster’s henchman turned “supergrass” (informer) trying to live in peaceful hiding in a remote Spanish village. Sun-dappled bliss turns to nerve-racking suspense, however, when two hit men—played by a soulless John Hurt and a youthful, loose-cannon Tim Roth—come calling to bring Willie back for execution. This stylish early gem from Stephen Frears boasts terrific hard-boiled performances from a roster of England’s best actors, music by Eric Clapton and virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco de LucĂ*a, and ravishing photography of its desolate Spanish locations—a splendid backdrop for a rather sordid story."
