Arrow Presents HIRED TO KILL on Blu-ray

hiredtokillarrowvideo

Opening credits font and score is soooo 90s! And we love it! HIRED TO KILL is reminiscent of a finer time in cinema, and more importantly, home media. The days of strolling through your local video store and picking out stuff based on the cover and descriptions alone. That or the familiar actors whose careers you follow. HIRED TO KILL was no different. George Kennedy, perhaps best known in that era for his roles in The Naked Gun series (or let alone his past with Cool Hand Luke), teams up with stars such as Jose Ferrer (Lawrence of Arabia) and Oliver Reed (Gladiator) to grace the screen with our protagonist Brian Thompson. Does he look familiar to you? If you don’t already know who he is but he looks familiar, then you may recognize him from The Terminator and Cobra.

Frank Ryan (Thompson) is hired to track down a rebel leader behind enemy territory, however, Frank will have a rag tag group of back-up: seven female fighters. This plot alone already reeks of the 90s. This film is a great example of the times, and more importantly the people involved. There is an obvious appreciation and belief in the work these actors put forth. All of which you can learn more about when watching the brand new interview with Director Nico Mastorakis.

HDN are huge fans of alternative art and the work that Graham Humphrey’s has done for HIRED TO KILL is simply amazing. However, with the work that we’ve come to adore and respect that comes from Graham, it’s really no surprise. You can check out HIRED TO KILL at the link below.
