Review
[Editor’s Note: Kino Lorber Studio Classics inadvertantly used the wrong master for this release and is replicating new replacement discs that use the proper 2017 4K restoration. You can find a link to their replacement program in the Additional Notes section of this review below.]
It’s been almost forty years since Sam Peckinpah died but he remains one of the most divisive and discussed filmmakers of the late 20th century. He’s one of those directors whose name is synonymous with a very specific type of movie. But relatively few of his films received universal acclaim, especially at the time of their release. The typical journey for a Peckinpah film is a long, slow climb toward building an avid, vocal cult following.
