Beyond the Law - DVD

Gay airline pilot John Peterson (Viggo Mortensen, who wrote and directed) had a lifelong cross to bear in the form of his irascible farmer father Willis (Lance Henriksen), who bore undisguised contempt for his son's lifestyle. With Willis becoming increasingly burdened by dementia, John brought him home for a visit, to hopefully convince him to move nearer to his kids-a task that the bitter old man won't make easy. Moving tale co-featuring Terry Chen, Laura Linney, Hannah Gross, David Cronenberg. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Region Free

After his estranged junkie son turned up dead, disgraced ex-city cop Frank Wilson (Johnny Messner) went back to old haunts and old ways in order to flush out those responsible. While Wilson's old partner (DMX) wants to keep the case on the up and up, the killer (Zack Ward) has an ex-mobster (Steven Seagal) for a father-and the gone-legit gangster will also go to any lengths to shield his kid. Riveting revenge actioner also stars Bill Cobbs, Chester Rushing, Patrick Kilpatrick, Saxon Sharbino. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
