Film Synopsis

New York, 1974.  Chris, a man in his 50s, is released from prison after serving a stretch for a revenge killing.  He is met at the prison gates by his younger brother, Frank, who has made up his mind to help Chris start a new life on the straight and narrow.  Now a promising cop, Frank has been estranged from Chris for many years, something that has not been helped by their father's preference for his eldest son.   Despite his deeply rooted antipathy for Chris, Frank provides him with a place to stay and a job.  But Chris's criminal past soon catches up with him and Frank refuses to have anything more to do with him.  Unfortunately, blood ties are not so easily severed...

The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The very best of Italian cinema
sb-img-23
Fellini, Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Pasolini... who can resist the intoxicating charm of Italian cinema?
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
