Red Riding - 1974 (DVD)

Red Riding - 1974 (2009) starring Andrew Garfield. When a young girl is found murdered, journalist Edward Dunford (Garfield) thinks he sees a pattern linking the killing to earlier disappearances of girls. But when he starts asking questions, the police come around and rough him up. Soon after, a fellow journalist and friend dies in an "accident." Dunford suspects foul play. The deeper he digs, the more trouble he stirs up. In the end, this movie gets more and more violent, until it goes out in a blaze of gunfire. The question is, will you want to see Parts 2 and 3 of the Red Riding trilogy? I don't think I'll be renting them. The subtitles that come on the disc are very good, but curiously, closed captions are not offered. Grade: B
