Loved this flick. Did this get a BD release somewhere? I know the BD has not been released in the states. I know it's on VUDU, so worst case scenario I'll get the HDX version.

I love it too, then again I'm a big Brian De Palma fan. Except for a couple of flubs, his filmography from Sisters onward is IMO pretty solid.
Still have the dvd, no Blu in the states yet.

Oh, I really like his films, too.

I've liked all of his flicks there in bold that I've actually seen.

Man this movie is fucking AWFUL.

Over 20 years later, someone here finally agrees with me!!!


Threads like this kind of get me all nostalgic. I miss that time of my misspent youth where I actually had the time to make several posts regarding a movie during my workday because I had so little important stuff going on in my life that arguing over something like the quality of a movie like this meant something. Looking at my comments, I can't believe I was that shallow, but I guess that's mid 20s vs late 40s for you.

Looking back on some of them, I actually take back what I said about Untouchables, Body Double, and even the first Mission:Impossible. In fact, it's amazing how much of his signature style he was able implement in the first M:I movie. As for this one, I can take it or leave it, but I honestly haven't seen it in over 20 years. Maybe I need to revisit with a more mature mind and see what I think.

I recently rewatched the first M:I as well and came to the same conclusion. Lots of shots that were obviously De Palma. I was surprised how "Hitchcockian" it seemed and was surprised I never picked up on that before. I was also thinking how hit-or-miss he is for someone who has made some really great films. Femme Fatale would NOT be on my Top 5 De Palma list.

I think DePalma is kind of comparable to Ridley Scott. Give him a movie with a decent script and he can make something pretty impressive. Give him a crappy script and his style over substance approach is all that remains.

I finally got around to watching Sisters after reading Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation. I enjoyed it quite a bit!

Good gritty early De Palma with his wonderfully inventive camera work!

Let me guess, you blind bought the Shout Factory Blu-Ray because you were enchanted by the Rebecca Romijn cover?

hahahaha. So close. I blind bought the Shout Factory Blu-Ray because I’d been enchanted by quite a few Depalma films bought blind. For the most part I’m always a happy customer. The only Depalma I blind bought that was even worse was Raising Cain. A career worst performance by John Lithgow.
