To celebrate the release of ARMY OF ONE – available on Digital Download 23rd Jan. and DVD/Blu-ray 6th Feb. 2017 – we are giving away a copy on Blu-ray and an iTunes download code courtesy of Arrow Films!

Hollywood legend Nicolas Cage is at his gonzo, goofball best as an American man on a mission to single-handedly mount a war on terror in ARMY OF ONE.

Directed by comedy genius Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno, The Dictator, Curb Your Enthusiasm), it’s made all the more berserk and bizarre by the fact that it is a true story!

As the feckless, reckless bearded Faulkner – a real life character whose ill-equipped warlord hunting antics astounded the world – Cage is mesmerizingly hilarious. Gleefully unhinged, sporting combat gear and wraparound shades, he plays beautifully off stand-up superstar Russell Brand (as God) and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids), as the high school crush who helps him prepare for his ill-advised solo mission.

When the fearless Faulkner gets to Pakistan, things get seriously silly and reach a fever pitch of funny not seen since Borat went round America.

To celebrate the release of Takashi Miike’s Black Society Trilogy – out of DVD & Blu-Ray from 16th January – we are giving away a Blu-ray copy courtesy of Arrow Video!

After several years spent working almost exclusively in the direct-to-video world of “V-cinema” in Japan, Takashi Miike announced himself as a world-class filmmaking talent with this trio of thematically-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding one’s place in the world. His first films made specifically for theatrical release, and his first for a major studio, the “Black Society Trilogy” was the beginning of Miike’s mature career as a filmmaker and they remain among the prolific director’s finest works.

Set in the bustling Kabuki-cho nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society follows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggling with private issues while hunting a psychotic criminal (Tomorowo Taguchi, Tetsuo the Iron Man) who traffics in children’s organs. Rainy Dog, shot entirely in Taiwan, is about an exiled yakuza (Dead or Alive’s Show Aikawa) who finds himself saddled with a son he never knew he had and a price on his head after the Chinese gang he works for decides to turn on him. Ley Lines moves from the countryside to the city and back, as three Japanese youths of Chinese descent (including The Raid 2’s Kazuki Kitamura) seek their fortune in Tokyo, only to run afoul of a violent gang boss (Naoto Takenaka, The Happiness of the Katakuris).

Three of the most dramatically moving films created by the director, the “Black Society Trilogy” offers clear proof that Miike’s frequent pigeonholing as a specialist in bloody spectacle is only one aspect of his filmmaking career, and taken as a whole, the films are among the finest works ever to deal with the way violence and brutality can unexpectedly destroy even the most innocent of lives.
