The Boxer ボクサー [1977]
Directed By: Shuji Terayama

Talk about a film that sets the tone from the very start. The walk in the tunnel before the match begins with this haunting track playing and the fighter walking by a batter boxer and when he gets in the ring, before the match you get a tribute to a fallen boxer from the announcer.

You get the sense of dreed already and then an unfortune event happens. A film coated with these faded but beautiful colors which is not uncommon from the director paints this world of grinding but the ways the colors are used is like there is still a glimmer of hope.

With characters mentality or physically beaten you get all forms of metaphorical signs that relates to the main cast. Not a pretty world and the surroundings reflect the characters with a sense of mystery because throughout the film once you know Bunta's past (Hayato) on why he walked away from the sport or why he decided to train this young man (Considering what he is connected to and what he did) The "why" becomes the overall theme Hayato's actions.

Very amazing addition to the @FilmsRadiance library and is a film I'm still thinking about now since I saw it for the first time years ago and revisiting this Blu-Ray love it more than I already did. With a great training montage an interesting characters with one heck of a finale. I highly recommend it.

This comes out on July 21th via @mvdentgroup

The three titles collected in SANGSTER DIRECTS HAMMER suggest that, far from being a studio in decline, Hammer was still capable of making thoroughly entertaining and even innovative films in the 1970s. Now available from @SeverinFilms. https://t.co/6iIlkjKqfc

Alex Chandon’s Cradle of Fear (2001) is a gory, vicious, and oddly engrossing series of terror tales that combine into one provocative, grueling bloodbath.

https://t.co/mEcVlX02Pi
John Flynn’s "The Outfit" (1973) is a lean, tough neo-noir crime thriller adapted from Richard Stark’s (Donald E. Westlake) Parker novel of the same name. Robert Duvall stars as Earl Macklin, a professional thief recently released from prison who methodically wages a one-man war against “the Outfit”—the organized crime syndicate that killed his partner—by robbing their operations and eliminating their enforcers with cold efficiency. Flynn, working in the gritty, post-Dirty Harry vein of 1970s American cinema, directs with a stripped-down, procedural style that emphasizes terse dialogue, precise violence, and moral ambiguity rather than glamour. The film features a stellar supporting cast including Joe Don Baker, Robert Ryan, Karen Black, and a parade of great character actors (Sheree North, Elisha Cook Jr., Richard Jaeckel), giving it a lived-in, hard-boiled texture. Though overlooked at the time, The Outfit has since earned cult status as one of the purest, most uncompromising examples of 1970s crime cinema—brutal, economical, and relentlessly focused on its anti-hero’s icy revenge.
***
John Flynn's The Outfit stands as one of the purest, most unpretentious neo-noir crime films of the 1970s, a lean adaptation of Richard Stark’s (Donald E. Westlake) third Parker novel that captures the author’s procedural, amoral efficiency while translating it into gritty cinematic form. John Flynn’s (Defiance, Rolling Thunder,) direction is the film’s quiet masterstroke. He employs a no-nonsense, functional style that prioritizes clarity over flash: clean widescreen compositions by Bruce Surtees (The Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry, Night Moves, Risky Business, Play Misty For Me,) precise editing by Ralph E. Winters, and a minimalist approach that makes the violence feel sudden and brutal rather than choreographed for spectacle. Action scenes emphasize geography and consequence - viewers always know who is where and what the stakes are - while avoiding the baroque stylization of Point Blank (John Boorman’s earlier Parker adaptation). Jerry Fielding’s spare, jazzy score underscores the tension without romanticizing the characters. At its core, The Outfit explores honor and dishonor among thieves. Macklin operates on a rigid criminal code: he was wronged, so the Outfit must pay in escalating financial and human costs until the ledger is balanced. The syndicate, by contrast, is bureaucratic and impersonal - killing Macklin’s partner was just “business,” but it violated the informal rules of the underworld. Flynn populates the story with shades of grey: no true heroes, only varying degrees of ruthlessness. Cody’s ironic line, “The good guys always win,” lands with dark humor because the audience understands there are no good guys here. Robert Duvall (The Apostle, Badge 373, Tomorrow, Get Low, THX 1138, Broken Trail, The Godfather, Lonesome Dove, Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, Joe Kidd, Lawman,) delivers one of his most underappreciated lead turns as Macklin. Compact, intense, and utterly convincing as a career criminal who treats violence like accounting, Duvall channels Parker’s emotionless competence without making him cartoonish. Joe Don Baker’s (Framed, Golden Needles, Charley Varrick, Junior Bonner, Fletch, Cool Hand Luke, The Underneath, King of the Hill,) Cody provides perfect foil - big, laconic, loyal, and quietly lethal. Karen Black (Five Easy Pieces, Nashville, The Day of the Locust, Burnt Offerings, Trilogy of Terror, The Pyx, Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, Images,) brings vulnerability and toughness as Macklin’s girlfriend Bett, though the film’s treatment of its female characters remains dated and functional. Sheree North (The Organization, Madigan, The Shootist, Charley Varrick, Lawman, Destination Inner Space, No Down Payment, Breakout,) adds sharp energy and attitude as Buck’s wife in one of the film’s memorable episodic domestic sequences, holding her own amid the tough-guy proceedings. The supporting cast is a masterclass in seasoned character acting with noir pedigree: Robert Ryan (The Racket, The Set-up, Born to be Bad, Day of the Outlaw, Odds Against Tomorrow, Berlin Express, Act of Violence, Horizons West, Crossfire, Clash by Night, The Woman on Pier 13, On Dangerous Ground, The Woman on the Beach, Inferno, The Wild Bunch,) - gravely authoritative in one of his final roles - Elisha Cook Jr. (Stranger on the Third Floor, Sergeant York, The Maltese Falcon, I Wake Up Screaming, Phantom Lady, The Falcon's Alibi, The Big Sleep, Born to Kill, The Long Night, Flaxy Martin, The Great Gatsby, Don't Bother to Knock, Shane, I, the Jury, The Indian Fighter, The Killing, Day of the Outlaw, House on Haunted Hill, College Confidential, One-Eyed Jacks, The Haunted Palace, Johnny Cool, The Glass Cage, The Night Stalker, Blacula, Electra Glide in Blue, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Emperor of the North, Messiah of Evil,) Marie Windsor (Support Your Local Gunfighter, The Girl in Black Stockings, The Killing, No Man's Woman, Hell's Half Acre, City That Never Sleeps, The Narrow Margin, The Fighting Kentuckian, The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend, Force of Evil,) Jane Greer (Station West, Desperate Search, Run for the Sun, The Big Steal, The Company She Keeps, They Won't Believe Me, Out of the Past, Two O'Clock Courage, Where Love Has Gone,) and more - veteran noir faces lending lived-in authenticity to every scene. Arrow Video’s Blu-ray of The Outfit is a highly desirable release for fans of 1970s crime cinema and Richard Stark’s Parker novels. The restoration honors the film’s gritty visual intent and the extras strike an ideal balance between scholarly context and passionate fandom. At a time when many cult titles receive bare-bones treatment, Arrow has once again shown why it remains the gold standard for physical media. Highly recommended - essential for anyone who values tough, efficient neo-noir done right. This is the definitive edition.
