Vinegar Syndrome, via its sublabel Cinématographe. is preparing a standard Blu-ray edition of John Dahl's Red Rock West (1993), starring Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper, Lara Flynn Boyle, Timothy Carhart, and J.T. Walsh. The release will be available for purchase on April 30.
Description: Michael (Nicolas Cage, Wild at Heart), a discharged marine turned drifter, ends up in Red Rock, Wyoming in search of honest work. Wayne (J.T. Walsh, Breakdown), a local bar owner, offers Michael the dishonest work of carrying out a hit on his wife Suzanne (Lara Flynn Boyle, The Last Seduction) after mistaking him for the actual hitman, "Lyle, from Dallas", that he hired to murder his spouse. Before Michael can split town with his downpayment, he runs into the real Lyle (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet) and, from there, all hell breaks loose.
Directed and co-written by John Dahl (Kill Me Again), RED ROCK WEST is an endlessly twisty slice of distinctly American neo-noir set in the heartland of the United States. Featuring stellar performances from all three leads and a nearly repellent mean-streak, Dahl's film is an often forgotten jewel of 90s crime cinema, making its US Blu-ray debut in an all new restoration from Cinématographe.
