Tense and atmospheric, this spooky story features outstanding performances and plenty of suspense from the father of the modern ghost story.

DVD Review THE THIN RED LINE (BLU-RAY)

He may not be prolific, but as a director each of Terrence Malick's films stand as uniquely rewarding sensory experiences, and this 1998 adaptation of James Jones' anti war novel is no exception. With Criterion's exceptional 1080p transfer and rewarding extras, this may very well be "the" release of 2010.

Highly recommended.
