Shout Factory has announced that it will add four new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: Robert Siodmak's Criss Cross (1949), Nathan Juran's Law and Order (1953), Ernie Barbarash's Abduction (2018), and Joe Chappelle's An Acceptable Loss (2019).
Criss Cross
Synopsis: Illicit passion, greed, robbery, and murder collide in this powerful thriller starring Burt Lancaster and Yvonne De Carlo.
Steve Thompson (Burt Lancaster) is a hardworking armored car driver with a fatal attraction to his ex-wife Anna (Yvonne De Carlo), who's now married to notorious hoodlum Slim Dundee (Dan Duryea). Unable to stay away from her, Steve has a secret tryst with Anna ... only to be discovered by Dundee. To cover up their affair, Steve convinces Dundee that he only met with Anna to get Dundee's help in robbing an upcoming payroll shipment he will be driving. The hood falls for the ruse, which triggers a series of harrowing events that ultimately lead to violence and death. Criss Cross is a classic film noir suspense tale from a true master of the genre, director Robert Siodmak (The Killers).
STREET DATE: JULY 23.
Law and Order
Synopsis: Ronald Reagan must choose between the woman he loves and the dangerous life of a frontier lawman in Law And Order. Marshal Frame Johnson (Reagan) was hired to keep the peace in Tombstone, not kill people. So when an angry mob tries to take the matter of an outlaw into their own hands, Frame realizes that he has no place in a town that doesn't want true justice.
Hoping to finally settle down with his sweetheart Jeannie (Dorothy Malone), Frame moves to Cottonwood with his brothers Lute and Jimmy, where they build a ranch. When a rash of cattle rustling threatens to drive out the decent townsfolk, and the local judge suspects that the sheriff is just as corrupt as the thieves, he appeals to Frame for his help. Frame declines, but Lute accepts the badge in his place. When Lute is killed and Jimmy is framed for murder, Frame realizes that only he can stop the corruption and restore law and order in Cottonwood ... or no one will be safe.
STREET DATE: JULY 16.
Abduction
Synopsis: The clock is ticking for the human race ...
This pulse-pounding thriller pits two strangers against a nefarious alien force, with the future of mankind hanging in the balance.
Quinn (Scott Adkins, Doctor Strange), a member of a SWAT unit, steps out of a park fountain in an Asian city with no recollection of who he is or where he came from. As he pieces together clues from his past, he vaguely recalls his young daughter, who has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Conner (Andy On, Zombie Fight Club), a former military operative turned gangster-for-hire, discovers that his wife has also disappeared mysteriously in the middle of the night. These two men, with little in common, realize they must work together to find their loved ones and thwart their mysterious abductors.
STREET DATE: JULY 16.
An Acceptable Loss
She was the ultimate patriot. Now, what she knows could bring down the government. Libby Lamm (Tika Sumpter, Southside With You) is a former top national security adviser who, while working with Rachel Burke (Jamie Lee Curtis), a ruthless, steel-willed political veteran, signed off on a controversial military action that was supposed to end the war on terror. The problem: thousands died under false pretenses. Haunted by what she knows, Libby sets out to tell the truth, risking treason — and her own life — to expose a cover-up that stretches all the way to the highest level of government. This gripping saga of lies, conspiracy, and betrayal is an explosive look at what it takes to do the right thing — even if it means going up against your own country.
