Mill Creek Entertainment
has added two new Blu-ray selections to its Sept. 12 release calendar. Already in place on that date is the 13-disc
Blu-ray collection of Friday Night Lights: The Complete Series.
Getting a Blu-ray push is
director Peter Yates’ 1987 courtroom thriller, Suspect, starring Cher,
Dennis Quaid, John Mahoney and Liam Neeson.
A whodunit prologue
features a Supreme Court Justice (Thomas Barbour) committing suicide and the
discovery of the dead body of a clerk from the Justice Department floating in
Potomac River. Her name was Elizabeth
Quinn (Katie O'Hare) and a traumatized and homeless Vietnam vet by the name of Wayne
Anderson (Liam Neeson) is arrested for her murder. There is no overt connection between the two
events.
It falls to D.C. public
defender Kathleen O’Riley (Cher) to go through the motions of defending
Anderson as he is a deaf-mute and of little help. It will be a quick trial and that will be
that.
There is just one more
element to get the juices flowing and the mystery of it all set in motion. That comes in the form of a lobbyist/hustler
by the name of Eddie Sanger (played by Dennis Quaid), who gets roped into jury
duty — for this trial — despite protesting that he has no time for such
things.
As the trial proceeds, he
begins to suspect that Anderson is innocent and starts passing notes to
O’Riley. That’s a big no-no, but she is
desperate to mount a defense and goes along with it … they become sort of a
Holmes and Watson detective team.
Suspect is a terrific mystery that has a wonderful twist
for an ending … on Blu-ray, with an SRP of just $14.98 how can you say no!
Also getting a Blu-ray on
Sept. 12 is director Paul Weiland’s 1987 comedy, Leonard Part 6, starring
Bill Cosby as a former CIA agent who is brought out of retirement to stop Medusa
Johnson (Gloria Foster), the leader of a vegetarian cult and their evil plans
of using pets and other assorted animals to kill their masters and take over
the world.
