Man on the Train - BLU-RAY

Two billion years in the future, humanity finds itself on the verge of extinction. Almost all that remains are lone, surreal monuments- the futuristic, solemn, Brutalist stone slabs erected during the communist era in the former Yugoslav republics, arrestingly photographed in luminous 16mm black-and-white. A stunning feature debut and final cinematic testament from the late composer and musician Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, Arrival, Mandy) conjures a world of surreal and phantasmagorical monuments, once intended as symbols of unity and brotherhood, now abandoned beacons beaming their message into the wilderness. Based on the cult 1930 science fiction novel by British author Olaf Stapledon, with narration by Tilda Swinton, Last and First Men is a poetic, hopeful, and tragic work an allegory of remembrance, ideals, and the death of Utopia.

Coming off of therapy, the assassin code-named InchLadybugInch (Brad Pitt) felt sure his string of bad luck was behind him-and that his new gig retrieving a briefcase from a Tokyo-to-Kyoto high-speed train would be a piece of cake. He'd be wrong on both counts, as a half-dozen other contract killers were after the same prize... and their seemingly unconnected agendas would prove anything but. Audacious actioner co-stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Michael Shannon. 126 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

A mismatched pair of convicts-aging bank robber Manny (Jon Voight) and cocky young thug Buck (Eric Roberts)-made their way through the storm drain from their isolated Alaska prison, and onto a freight train to certain freedom. They didn't have long to celebrate, as a fatal heart attack to the engineer trapped them, and lone railroad maintenance worker Sara (Rebecca de Mornay), on a rolling juggernaut to disaster. Andrei Konchalovsky's edge-of-the-seat actioner, based on a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa, also stars Kenneth McMillan, T.K. Carter, Kyle T. Heffner. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary theatrical trailers.
