Blu-ray Reviews of The Professionals [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Brooks' Professionals
Summary: 4 Stars
This action packed western set in the early 1900's boasts a star cast of he-men only rivaled by "The Dirty Dozen"(which Marvin was also in) and "The Wild Bunch" (Robert Ryan). Along with Ryan and Marvin for the ride is Woody Strode, Burt Lancaster, Ralph Bellamy and Jack Palance as the former buddy of Lancaster & Marvin, now a wanted bandido. Also the luscious Claudia Cardinale is the crew's bounty and she still looks great in her '60s or early 70's (she's featured in interview section on Special Features). The plot may be old-hat but the execution by director Richard Brooks isn't. There's plenty of room for some character development and also some tart dialogue--things that are missing from a lot of the action movies nowadays --particularly Bruokheimer's and Bay's films. Cardinale has been kidnapped by Palance and it's up to the Marvin-Lancaster-Ryan-Strode team to get her back and deliver her to her husband (Bellamy). But all is not what it seems to be for this quartet and treachery abounds along the way. I saw this flick back in '65 while en route to the military (Air Force) and it's been shown countless times on TCM. This film still holds up and I strongly recommend this to all action addicts since the Blu-ray version will be out as June 10th. Definitely put this on your "must have" list!! Also though Lancaster is billed ahead of Marvin in the credits it's Marvin who is the prime mover in this flick just as he was in "Dozen"--he'll be missed as well as Ryan, Lancaster & Strode (the mysterious gunman in "Once Upon a Time in the West"). So go see it for these heroic men of honor!! As a further update on this review, I've already viewed the new Blu-ray edition of this action classic--and like it's heroes--it delivers with a great picture!!
