It's available for pre order at the slightly cheaper price of £14.99 in Dual Format Limited Edition format with the following listed extras... • High Definition remaster • Original mono audio • Audio commentary • New interview with actor Ann Bell (2017, tbc mins) • Original theatrical trailer • Image gallery: on-set and promotional photography • New English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing • Limited edition booklet with new essay by Michael Pattison, an overview of contemporary critical responses, & historic articles on the film • World premiere on Blu-ray • UK DVD premiere • Limited Dual Format Edition of 3,000 copies • More TBC >>> The Reckoning<<< I've just ordered mine for delivery on it's release date 21st August. Gene. Got my copy today (for the princely sum of £13 ) and thought it was a great film. As Arthur said, it's like a cross between Get Carter and Man At The Top and I can confirm that the use of the word "twat" was superbly executed Well worth the money. Keep those recommendations coming.

Glad you enjoyed it Steve. I've not ordered mine yet. As for recommendations, the same label have a few lesser known gems such as 'The Last Detail', one of the best US films of the 70's & a Dennis Waterman favourite ( according to a questionnaire he did in the 80s ), 'The Anderson Tapes' & 'The Deadly Affair' ( both by Sidney 'The Hill' Lumet ). Also by Lumet is 'The Offence', released by Eureka on blu ray fairly recently, a great & grim film which I think Sean Connery considers his best performance.

Keep those recommendations coming. I bought the Dual Format Edition of this a while back and watched it for a second time a few days ago. A good entertaining film and well worth viewing for those who haven't seen it. Steed

Great write up and photos Arthur - Thanks Another link with Get Carter is the appearance of Godfrey Quigley who played Eddie in Get Carter and Dr Carolan in The Reckoning. You can see Godfrey at the bedside in the 3rd picture above. John Hussey was also in both films. Gene. I'm just watching The Reckoning now and have noticed another link with Get Carter. As I mentioned above, John Hussey who played an architect in Get Carter (in the car park scenes) was also in The Reckoning, but I've also just noticed that his fellow architect (to whom Hussey says "I've got an awful feeling we are not going to get our fees on this job") is also at the party in Marlers house. He was played by actor Ben Aris. He is not credited on IMDB as being in The Reckoning though... I'll try and update that. Also spotted Sweeney faces Joe Gladwyn (Stan the man in Abduction), Sheila Gish (June Boyse in Jigsaw), Maxie Craig (Jigsaw, Faces & Big Spender as well as Sweeney! the film) & Guy Standeven (Logan the bank manager in Sweeney 2) was also at the Marler Party. Gene.

I still haven't seen this film yet. Saw a little of it last Sunday night and wanted to catch the full film last Wednesday, but it's on a bit too late for me. I usually like to be in bed around Midnight these days unless I'm on holiday. Must be an age thing.
From what I saw it's worth seeing but still not in the same class as 'Get Carter' I'm absolutely sure by the way that Dirty was correct about the location of those long hilly Streets being in the Everton Valley area of Liverpool. I can remember going past the bottom of them on the bus as a kid down Scotland Road.
The area has changed unbelievably now.
Charles.

Watching the film 'I Monster' from 1971 last night I recognised this picture, looks like the very same one seen in The Reckoning. I thought the art director or set dresser might be the same on both films but no, though both films have the same costume/wardrobe person, Bridget Sellers, maybe she provided the picture.
