Honky Tonk - BLU-RAY

Despite his Tasmanian roots and elegant British diction, Errol Flynn made an ideal all-American cowboy. With his steely gaze, lean frame, and understated humor, he tamed the West in eight thrilling sagebrush sagas.

When unemployed Bubba Brady (Patrick Flueger) gets a tip from a drifter named Jim (Ron Perlman) about a job offer from Perriman (Joe Pantoliano), Bubba's girl Joy (Taryn Manning) is thrilled - it means they can finally start a life. But the job is not as advertised; though the opportunity is real, Bubba will have to learn if he has the killer instincts to do what it requires. Based on Bitterman's award-winning play, the Job is a funny, frightening vision of a world not so far from our own.
