The bitter, numbing mindlessness of war and the exploitation of military ranks has been material for a number of films, both good and bad. If there has ever been a film that made it brazenly obvious, tangible for everyone, it has to be late director [...]
This release exhibits Buena Vista’s trademark treatment with a great video presentation but thin on the extras. The film transfer used for “Sirens” is very clean and boasts with colors. Nevertheless there never seems to be an oversaturation and [...]
