Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Cage's best performance, and people had been asking Criterion for this for years. The existing Sandpiper Blu-ray was dated and out of print, so the Shout 4K was a relief. StudioCanal has a 30th anniversary edition coming too. The cinematography looks better than people expected on this kind of low-budget 90s drama.
