8MM (Eight Millimeter) DVD Report


AKA: Eight Millimeter - Print: Good - Sound: Good - Label: Columbia Tristar - Cover: Good - Format: 2.35:1 - Length: 1h58m/1h56m - Before: Yes on VHS - Again: Yes - Price: £1 - Rating: 8/10.

Tom Welles (Nicholas Cage), a straight-laced surveillance specialist sees his innocent, naive world unravel when hired by the widow of a rich industrialist, to investigate what appears to be a snuff movie, discovered in her late husbands safe.

It appears to be a teenage girl being abused then murdered. In order to discover the truth, he enters the citys seedy underworld, guided by porn-store clerk Max California (Joaquin Phoenix), but finds he has bitten off more than he can chew!

I saw 8MM on VHS 10 years ago, and it still is a great movie, still edge of the seat, and still one I feel is worth watching again! Great movie, but not for the squeamish!

Here is the trailer...
