ABSOLUTE POWER (CLINT EASTWOOD)
"One of the best movies Eastwood has made. Smart and suspenseful." - Roger Ebert, "SISKEL & EBERT"
He was where he shouldn't have been and saw what he shouldn't have seen. Now, who will believe the word of a career thief and ex-con? Who will trust Luther Whitney when he says he saw a woman killed - and that the man responsible for her death is the President of the United States?
Clint Eastwood portrays Whitney and directs this crisp, finely acted thriller based on David Baldacci's best-selling novel. A stellar cast which includes Gene Hackman and Ed Harris creates well-rounded characters that intensify a constantly spiralling game of cat and mouse between Whitney, local police and the highest levels of White House power. Eastwood is a master at steadily raising the stakes in thrillers. Here his mastery is absolute.

BAD LIEUTENANT
SPECIAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION – NEVER BEFORE AVAILABLE ON DVD!Abel Ferera’s cult classic - from the seedy underbelly of a crime riddled New York City comes the story of a police officer who is almost as morally bankrupt, ethically void and emotionally vacant as the transgressors he is employed to apprehend. Director Abel Ferrara who has gained a wide-spread cult following for his ‘pull-no-punches’, sensationalist style of directing has once again inimitably outdone himself in this crude, hyper real depiction of a depressingly imaginable reality. Following an unnamed cop around the beat, Ferrara destroys any possible belief in law, order and morality. Instead, reality becomes a bleak, hopeless and pessimistic existence where the anti-hero is a hard-drinking, drug-taking, sexually abusing fiend whose only instance of moral repentance comes when he meets a nun who has been raped, yet forgives her attackers. This simple act of compassion alters his view, and drives him to seek justice in the only way he knows how. The most upsetting, yet most important element of Bad Lieutenant is that this depiction is not so far from reality. This is the world we live in, these are the horrific things that happen and we cannot hide from this. Abel Ferrara does not hide, instead opting to show these atrocities in their full, gory detail. The result is a depressingly real depiction of a depressingly real potential reality. Starring Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs), Victor Argo (Dirt, Music), Paul Calderon (Girlfight, 21 Grams), Leonard L Thomas (The Negotiator, S.W.A.T), Frankie Thorn (Stigmata, Viper) and directed by Abel Ferrara (China Girl, King Of New York).**** “One of the great screen performances in recent years.” – Chicago Tribune**** “Breathtaking.” – New York Times**** “Imagine a Martin Scorsese who had chosen to make nothing but B movies and you may have some idea of what Mr. Ferrara can be capable of” – THE NEW YORK TIMES**** “In the bad lieutenant, Keitel has given us one of the great screen performances in recent years” - ROGER EBERT**** “Ferrara does make his moral points, and though one feels dirtied in the process, there is an accompanying feeling of purification as well” – WASHINGTON POST**** “An impressive tour de force” – AUSTIN CHRONICLE
