Christopher Webster [DVD News 01.12.11] trailer news scifi dvd thriller



Shopping was the feature debut of both Paul W.S. Anderson and Jude Law. Censored for its frank depiction of violence, the film finally arrives intact on DVD and Blu-ray on February 8, 2011 courtesy of Severin Films.

Synopsis:
In a bleak future, charming ex-con Billy (Oscar nominee Jude Law of Sherlock Holmes, Closer and Cold Mountain) and sexy girlfriend Jo (Sadie Frost, Bram Stoker’s Dracula) live for stealing fast cars, leading cops on high-speed chases, and crashing through posh store windows to steal everything they can grab. But when the law and a rival gang both vow to end their spree, can Billy and Jo pull off one final raid before their world comes crashing down?

Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings, Red Riding), Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, Glengarry Glen Ross), Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers, The Tudors) and ’60s music icon Marianne Faithful also star in this reckless orgy of destruction – censored for 15 years by British authorities – from writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson (Alien vs. Predator, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Death Race). This throbbing, kinetic film hot-wired the U.K. crime-movie explosion of the late ’90s.

Oh wow I saw this ages ago. It's great. Never thought I'd see it again. Severin released Richard Stanley's Hardware on DVD/Blue-Ray as well so I guess they're in the business of digging up stylish gems from the past. Nice.

Marianne Faithful...cool! Is this really that violent? May be worth a look. The premise almost sounds comedic.
