Description

Screen icon Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Wanted: Dead or Alive) stars as blind Vietnam vet Nick Parker, who, with the calm of a Zen master and the precision of a sharpshooter, takes on a gang of ruthless Mafia killers in this action-packed odyssey from director Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games). Armed with a razor-sharp sword and a cutting wit, Parker is one blind man who doesn’t bluff when the going gets tough. Caught in the crossfire of a gangland vendetta against his best friend (Terry O’Quinn, The Stepfather), Parker and his buddy’s young son are pursued across country by a barbaric band of homicidal thugs (led by hulking ex-boxer Randall “Tex” Cobb, Raising Arizona). Using superhuman senses and a hidden samurai sword, Parker slices his way through a slam-bang adventure and a drop-dead finale that’s every bit as funny as it is ferocious. Featuring Noble Willingham (Career Opportunities), Lisa Blount (Prince of Darkness), Meg Foster (They Live) and martial arts legend Shô Kosugi (Revenge of the Ninja). Special Features: -NEW Audio Commentary by Screenwriter Charles Robert Carner, Moderated by Filmmaker Douglas Hosdale -Theatrical Trailer (Newly Remastered in 2K) -Optional English Subtitles
