Blu-ray Review Blast of Silence – Criterion Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Blast of Silence. By the end of the 1950’s, the film noir genre’s golden age was coming to an end as many of the great movies had well-worn many of the tropes that the genre had established. However, the genre didn’t have to wait long for a revival, as the 1960’s ushered in the next phase of the genre, the neo-noir. The newly minted phase of noir’s evolution got one of its first notable films, courtesy of a Brooklyn born actor, cartoonist and director named Allen Baron called Blast of Silence. Previously released on DVD by Criterion, the label has finally given the movie its long-awaited Blu-ray debut.

Thanks for the review. The film has wonderful location cinematography but is unfortunately very dull, needed a stronger cast.
