Directed by John G. Avildsen
USA 1970
When executive Bill Compton's (Dennis Patrick)
daughter, Melissa (Susan Sarandon), overdoses at the house of her
drug-dealer boyfriend, Compton flies into a rage and kills the
dealer. He tries to make it look like a robbery gone wrong but, in a
bar afterward, confesses his crime to a stranger named Joe (Peter
Boyle). Joe is a hippie-hater and approves of Compton's actions.
Moreover, when Melissa goes missing, he helps Compton track her down
in the hope of killing a few hippies himself.) *** “I’m the ‘Joe’ everbody’s talking about,”
heralded movie print ads for director John G. Avildsen’s (Rocky)
film Joe, proving that there’s truth in advertising. The modestly
budgeted film would go on to become a multi-million-dollar
box-office success, garnering an Academy Award nomination for Best
Screenplay. |

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
Olive films give us this
underrated film on a single-layered 1080p
Blu-ray
disc with a reasonable bitrate. The texture of the film has grain
consistent throughout, but detail is a little soft. This is a gritty
film-like presentation befitting a gritty movie . There are only a few
moments with visible scratches. John G. Avildsen not only directed but
also was the cinematographer, giving a 'real-life' grimy texture to the
color palette. |
