Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Richard Fleischer's Mr. Majestyk (1974), starring Charles Bronson, Al Lettieri, Linda Cristal, Paul Koslo, and Lee Purcell. The release will be available for purchase on December 7.
Description: Cinema's most rugged tough guy, Charles Bronson (Violent City, Death Wish), stars as Vince Majestyk, an ex-con and Vietnam vet whose efforts to run a farm are thwarted by narrow-minded locals and corrupt cops. But when a Mafia hit man (Al Lettieri, The Getaway, McQ) destroys Majestyk's crop, the farmer's fuse is finally blown. With his rifle in hand and his girlfriend (Linda Cristal, The Perfect Furlough) at the wheel, he goes after the syndicate assassin. And from high-speed back-road chases to an explosive backwoods confrontation, mobster and maverick stalk each other: two of a kind, antagonists to the death.
Directed by Hollywood ace Richard Fleischer (The Vikings, The Don Is Dead) and written by the legendary Elmore Leonard (52 Pick-Up, Out of Sight), Mr. Majestyk features wonderful supporting turns by Lee Purcell (Big Wednesday), Paul Koslo (The Stone Killer) and Taylor Lacher (Devil Times Five).
