Outbreak 4K Blu-ray
Big-time stars join director Wolfgang Petersen (The Perfect Storm, Troy) for big excitement in this breathless technothriller. Dustin Hoffman plays a take-charge army virologist trying to stave off global biological meltdown. A rare killer virus from the jungles of Zaire has taken hold in a California community. It knows no boundaries. Its mortality rate is 100%. And some say the only way to stop its spread is to firebomb the town and everyone in it. Joining Hoffman is an elite ensemble - including Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Patrick Dempsey, Donald Sutherland and Kevin Spacey - all bringing their formidable talents to a shocking, nail-biting tale of the day that could become doomsday.
STREET DATE: MARCH 31.
Devil's Advocate 4K Blu-ray
The Devil's Advocate follows Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves), an undefeated Florida defense lawyer drawn to New York by a prestigious firm run by the charismatic John Milton (Al Pacino), who is secretly Satan. As Kevin wins high-profile, morally compromising cases, his wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) suffers terrifying visions, realizing the firm and Milton are evil, while Kevin becomes seduced by ambition and power, slowly descending into corruption as he discovers Milton is his father and he is destined to bring about the Antichrist.
