4.0 out of 5 stars Greatly underrated film, August 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: First Deadly Sin [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Those who choose to review don't seem to "get" this film. Sinatra is able to portray the character of a realistically strong, dedicated, and loving man. He is one of the few actors who could pull it off. Sinatra is both believable and fascinating in his role as an exceptional police investigator with a palpable off-beat manliness who maintains his allegiance to his chosen duty while suffering the great tradgedy of his own personal life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warner Bros Re-Issues Film but still Pan/Scan!, May 11, 2008

By	Jackie L. Holstein "[e-mail]" (MPLS, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The First Deadly Sin (DVD)

Warner Bros decided to reissue this film and it is still Pan/Scan! We still don't have a Widescreen version of this film! I guess this one is one for the bargin bins of Wal-Mart!

I loved this movie. I read the book first and it was wonderful. A friend of mine gave it to me and after that I read all of the books it this series.

I think this it the best movie Frank Sinatra ever made. It is an excellent movie. It is a good crime story and well done. If you like a good who done it movie you will like this one.
