Color of Night / Playing God (Double Feature)

Color of Night / Playing GodI haven't watched Playing God, but I did watch, The Color of Night. I owned the previous Directors Cut, and it appears to have the same content. This is the extended version. A previous reviewer stated that on cable showings, there is more to be seen. Since, I've never seen it on cable, I cannot comment on that, but if you are looking for the previously released Director's Cut, it's here. The video content is improved over the DVD. It's a pretty clean print and I did not find anything wrong with the video. It's not as pristine as a newer release, it looks more like an upconverted DVD, but I'm sure it's the best it's ever looked. Audio was average...nothing to write home about.

For the price you really can't go wrong. If you are on the fence, I'd say go ahead and buy.

Video quality of Color of Night is poor. It is very grainy, which is very odd, and probably is the result of misoperation of the equipment used to convert from film to digital format. Additionally, the scene with Jane March and Bruce Willis in the pool is tamer than either of the two different versions that I've seen on cable. Although, it is the same as the Director's Cut that was released on regular DVD, and the quality is much, much better, owing mainly to the fact that that DVD release was so poorly done as to be barely watchable.

Buy Color of Night / Playing God (Double Feature) Now

Hey, for $6.99 or less, what can you lose? Well, $6.99 to start with and four hours of your time, but honestly it is worth $6.99 or less, nothing more. Both movies are loaded on one side of one disc.

The Color of Night is a sexy and twist-filled noir-like who-done-it that will keep you watching. The acting is fair at best, with the exception of Jane March who steps it up a notch. The video transfer varies noticeably during the film but never gets unwatchable, just grainy at times like you see in the first scenes. For most of the film though the transfer is sharp digital that never quite rises to Blu-ray perfection. I enjoy the movie though and will probably watch it once a year or so.

Playing God? Wow, what can I say. On the positive side the transfer is significantly better than Color of Night. Unfortunately the movie is so bad it is actually fun to watch......once. The plot kind of works, but the acting, action, scene detail, and soundtrack are.....well.... laughable. After your first viewing it is an ideal candidate for a "Bad Flick" party night with friends, booze, and lots of popcorn snacks you can throw at the screen. That's when it will next appear on my big screen.

Read Best Reviews of Color of Night / Playing God (Double Feature) Here

Color of Night: A very intriguing tale involving multiple personalities, a stressed out therapist, an interesting group of patients, murder and great sexual scenes. This was one of my favorite movies when it came out, and now, in blu ray, it is even better.

Playing God: A twisted tale of arrogance gone wrong. A doctor, hooked on himself and drugs, falls low enough to get involved with some real bad characters. A good movie all in all.

This double feature rocks!
