For hardcore Bronson fans!,
By Dr. Z! (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charles Bronson Collection: Telefon & St Ives (DVD)
I am one of those fans, by the way! And that's why I bought this. I already owned "St. Ives" on DVD and bought this one only for "Telefon" (which I have been waiting for its release for a long time). Even by today's standards, this movie still stands strong.But the picture quality is one to wish for: "St. Ives" is good but "Telefon" is kind of hazy and not sharp, but still not too bad. Get this one, if you like Bronson's movies.

Disappointed with picture quality of Telefon,
By Joe The Goose - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charles Bronson Collection: Telefon & St Ives (DVD)
I have been waiting for Telefon to be released on DVD for years and I must say that I am somewhat disappointed with the picture quality. I have found the image to be unusually soft in many places - mostly the interior scenes. There is a definite lack of sharpness. The movie itself is excellent.

Great two for one Bronson DVD,
By Logan Ratty - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Charles Bronson Collection: Telefon & St Ives (DVD)
Both films are decent (I repeat, decent, not the best ever) films in the Bronson catalogue. They are both in the mystery sort of direction, but have some action here and there. For me, St. Ives. was the best of the two. And up till now, as far as I'm aware, Telefon was not available at all on dvd. Having them both together is a nice deal. I pre-ordered it, and watched both films. Keeping in mind that they are products of their time and don't strive to be much more than that, I'd advise Bronson fans to check out these films. They look and sound decent enough, the pictures are clear, about what you would probably get on a decent video tape. Don't expect DTS sound and all the bells and whistles. They are not going to have frame by frame digital restoration, but they look real nice and the image holds up well. If you are new to Bronson, I recommend RED SUN (his best film in my opinion), CHATO'S LAND, THE MECHANIC, HARD TIMES, BREAKHEART PASS, DEATH HUNT, and of course, DEATH WISH. I'd also recommend ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE OLD WEST. But that is a heavy one. Some people people might want to look elsewhere if they are not into pictures that concentrate heavily on atmosphere and the slowing of time to tell a story. It's a masterpiece, but not for everyone understandably. Bronson Rules!

Telefon transfer is an embarassment!!!,
By Tuco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charles Bronson Collection: Telefon & St Ives (DVD)
I have a copy of Telefon in widescreen taped from TV that was a much better transfer than this. The DVD picture is so soft on this new release that it appears to almost be out of focus altogether a great deal of the film. A great disappointment that they felt Telefon needed to be released as a two-fer with another title that was already out, and then released with some generic cover. What was wrong with the great theatrical artwork?!?!Sure you can say "At least it got a release" but this scares me for the remaining Bronson DVD releases that have not yet arrived - Stone Killer, White Buffalo, Machine Gun Kelly, and From Noon til Three. Maybe Region 2 will do it some justice. If you do buy this release, get it on the cheap and lower your expectations.... |
