Kino Lorber have detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases of films starring Burt Reynolds: Impasse (1969) and Breaking In (1989). The two releases will be available for purchase on January 11.
Impasse
Description: Screen legend Burt Reynolds leads a ragtag crew of treasure hunters in the thrilling adventure Impasse. When Pat Morrison (Reynolds, Gator) learns of a cache of gold hidden in the Philippines during World War II, he recruits the team of veterans who buried the treasure to lead him to the site. But the unreliable crew—including a disenchanted alcoholic (Clarke Gordon, Journey to Shiloh) and a bitter seaman (Lyle Bettger, All I Desire)—test Morrison's patience. Complicating the mission is Morrison's attraction to two women, played by Anne Francis (More Dead Than Alive) and Miko Mayama (The Hawaiians), who each have plans of their own. Vic Diaz (Silk), Rodolfo Acosta (Wings of the Hawk) and Jeff Corey (Shoot Out) also star in this exciting men-on-a-mission tale from actor-turned-director Richard Benedict (Winter A-Go-Go) and screenwriter John C. Higgins (The File of the Golden Goose).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: From Bill Forsyth, the acclaimed director of Gregory's Girl and That Sinking Feeling, comes this offbeat comedy starring screen legend Burt Reynolds as a thief with a heart of gold.
Veteran safecracker Ernie (Reynolds, White Lightning) and his smart-alec apprentice Mike (Casey Siemaszko, Young Guns) are the unlikeliest pair of robbers since Butch Cassidy met The Sundance Kid. Ernie teaches Mike the tools of the trade—from crowbars to nitroglycerine—and together they tackle a series of wacky, yet profitable break-ins. Ernie knows there's more to being a successful thief than just thieving, there's investing what you've "earned" and keeping a low profile. Yet there are some things Ernie can't teach Mike, as he discovers when Mike falls in love with a money-hungry woman and goes on a spending spree. But, Mike soon realizes, there are some lessons which only taking time—and doing time—will teach you. Written by indie icon John Sayles (Lone Star), Breaking In is the hilarious and heartfelt buddy-comedy caper that has Reynolds in top, charming form!
