KILLER ELITE [BLU-RAY] [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1975
• Genre: Action; Crime; Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Renegade director Sam Peckinpah's The Killer Elite (1975) offers a gorgeously San Francisco-based excursion into the dark world of contract assassins, the CIA, martial arts, and ever more obscure notions of honor among hit men, with James Caan and Robert Duvall the leading exemplars thereof. Shot by the terrific Philip Lathrop, co-edited by the exemplary Monte Hellman, and with music by sine qua non composer Jerry Fielding (his last, hugely poignant score with long-time partner Peckinpah is available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track), this is an echt-1970s film, crammed with anger, betrayal, and the occasional soupçon of heart-wrenching poetry.; ; ALSO INCLUDING: Noon Wine (1966), the Sam Peckinpah-directed television version of Katherine Anne Porter's short novel, starring Jason Robards, Olivia de Havilland, and Theodore Bikel, available here for the first time on home video.;
