Robert Redford sets
politics aside for a return to the screen in an action/dramatic role and
absolutely nails it. He has virtually
no dialog, but as with Robert Ryan’s survival masterpiece from 1953, Inferno,
dialog is not a necessity in writer/director J.C. Chandor’s All
is Lost.
Lionsgate Home
Entertainment has selected Feb. 11 (clearly with an eye towards the
Oscar-awards season) as the street date for DVD and Blu-ray SKUs (with
UltraViolet).
The ARR works out to 116
days and the box office tally thus far stands at $4.9 million (that should grow
as theatre-goers discover this film gem).
It makes you wonder why
such a well-received film — from both audiences and critics alike — got such a
limited theatrical release (under 400 screens). Is it Redford’s age — fear that younger
audiences don’t know who he is? Is it
his left-leaning politics — has that turned half the potential audience off to
anything he might be in? It is a sad
state of affairs … everything is politics these days.
Regardless of the negatives
relating to age and politics, Robert Redford’s eight-day edge-of-your-set
adventure in the Indian Ocean is clearly one of the best films of 2013!
