    Watched this DVD last night.
    I really like this movie despite, and maybe because of, Heston's over-the-top performance.
    Eddie G. turned in a great performance as Sol Roth in his final screen role. Set in a 2022 dystopian NYC, where everyone wears ugly clothes and mill around
    aimlessly, Heston must find out who murdered big shot Joseph Cotten.
    Heston finds out more than he bargained for as he follows the trail, abetted by
    this "book" Eddie G.
    Nice post production touches like making the outdoor scenes seem heavily polluted add to the oppressive atmosphere that pervades this film.
    The DVD features some bonus extras including commentary by the director and the
    digital transfer is excellent.
    Highly recommended.
