DILLINGER REVIEWED
“Dillinger” is one of the greatest American International Pictures releases ever made. A lot of that had to do with John Milius making an insane directorial/writing debut. The cast is insane, plus Warren Oates drops the hammer so hard in the lead. I’m a big fan of the film, having seen it three times on the theatrical circuit. Last time was at the Harry Dean Stanton Film Festival in Lexington where I got to see Stanton and Michelle Phillips speak about the movie.
What makes the film’s Blu-Ray debut so impressive is the sheer amount of new interviews and the stunning 2K restoration of the film. These kinds of releases are what I was hoping Arrow USA would do when they came to North America. MGM and other large entities have deep libraries of stunning cult and underground hits that the major studios aren’t touching anymore. If one kid starts picking up on Milius because of this release, then it’s all worth of it. For long-term fans, sit back and enjoy the film that began one of the best directing careers in testosterone cinema.
