Mean Streets: Special Edition UK Blu-ray

British distributors Icon Home Entertainment have officially announced and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of acclaimed director Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973), starring Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, David Proval, Amy Robinson, and Richard Romanus. The release will be available for purchase on May 18.

Synopsis: One of the director's most personal and powerful films, Mean Streets stars De Niro and Keitel as Johnny Boy and Charlie, Italian-American cousins, small time criminals hustling, fighting and carousing, doing whatever it takes to survive in the rough and ready New York neighbourhoods.

Johnny Boy seems to spend his life getting into trouble, leaving the slightly older, and wiser Charlie to get him out of it. Charlie wants to make enough money to buy a restaurant, and he wants to drum some sense into Johnny Boy. But when Johnny Boy reneges on a debt to a loan shark, things get nasty, and the cousins find themselves having to flee a hired killer.
