Review: Son of the Soil
One of the things I particularly enjoyed was its authenticity. The performances feel natural, the relationships believable, and there’s a sincerity running throughout that never feels forced.

Featuring a car chase that is the epitome of a ‘white knuckle ride’, To Live and Die in L.A. is a smorgasbord of sudden outbursts of shocking violence, a twisting storyline featuring characters that can never fully be trusted.
Eraser remains enormous fun. It’s one of those action films that never pretends to be anything other than a hugely entertaining couple of hours.
Across the three discs there’s plenty to explore, including audio commentaries, featurettes, the alternate ending and a generous collection of extras that dive into the making of the film.
There are plenty of sports films that tell you what happened, but the very best make you feel as though you’re right there in the middle of the action.
There are films that entertain, films that challenge, and then there are films like Wake in Fright that simply leave you feeling as though you’ve spent two hours trapped in someone else’s fever dream.
BFI have released another great film and this title truly deserves to be in everyone’s collection, especially in this restored 4K UHD Blu-ray presentation.
I suppose the main theme is toxic masculinity, and rather than it just being about what you think toxic masculinity is, it explores other types of toxicity in men.
For those of us who wore out VHS tapes and spent years introducing friends to this hidden gem, seeing Bullet in the Head receive the deluxe 4K UHD treatment from Arrow Films is a real treat.
