Description

Swift, brutal, and black-hearted, Allen Baron's New York City noir Blast Of Silence is a sensational surprise. This low-budget, carefully crafted portrait of a hit man on assignment in Manhattan during Christmastime follows its stripped-down narrative with mechanical precision, yet also with an eye and ear for the oddball idiosyncrasies of urban living and the imposing beauty of the city's locations. At once visually ragged and artfully composed, and featuring rough, poetic narration by Lionel Stander, Blast Of Silence is a stylish triumph.

Dank Ed Brubaker zu erneutem Ruhm gelangt!
Hätte jener disen Film nicht so gebührlich gefeirt wie er das in seiner Comic-Serie "Criminal" getan hat, hätten wir wohl nie eine Neuauflage auf DVD erhalten. Schade das bei der deutschen Version Cover und Prolog Comic des "Criminal"-Zeichners fehlen.
Gönnt ihn euch also auf Englisch.
Einfach genial!
