Kevin Costner Actioner ‘Criminal’ Coming to Home Video July 26

Published

on

Criminal, which our own Daniel Baldwin called a “violent, trashy, spy-fi actioner,” is coming to 4k Ultra-HD, Blu-ray and DVD on July 26th from Lionsgate. For those into digital the digital HD copy will be available two weeks earlier on July 12th.

I didn’t catch this one in theaters, but I’ve been waiting for the Blu-ray. It seems like the type of action flick that is fun to throw on mid-day Sunday and just enjoy without thinking too much. I look forward to my Sunday enjoyment with this one.

Synopsis:
Proving there is a fine line between good and evil, Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (Best Director, Dances with Wolves¸ 1990) stars in Criminal, arriving on Digital HD on July 12 and on 4K Ultra-HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital HD), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital), and On Demand on July 26 from Summit Entertainment, a Lionsgate Company. The all-star cast of this “seriously engaging action flick” (reelfilm.com) also includes Academy Award® nominee Gary Oldman (Best Actor, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, 2011) alongside Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones (Best Supporting Actor, The Fugitive, 1993) and rising stars Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness) and Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). The pulse-pounding thriller will be available on Digital HD on July 12.

Kevin Costner stars in this story of the right man in the wrong body. In a last-ditch effort to stop a diabolical plot, a dead CIA operative’s memories, secrets, and skills are implanted into an unpredictable and dangerous death-row inmate in the hopes that he will complete the operative’s mission.

BLU-RAY/DVD/DIGITAL HD SPECIAL FEATURES
