Quick words about Cover-Up for which I had the pleasure to discover it for the very the first time in HD transfer after decades of hideous, incorrect ratio, horrible french dubbing through various bootleg editions (the US dvd was the less hideous at the time).
Despite that, I always loved that movie deeply, knowing perfectly it is a minor vehicule from Dolph classics era but I always appreciate the fact that COVER-UP showed us, how early in his career, the will of Dolph to incarnate something different from the traditional action hero or the Frankenstein willness super soldier. Years before his daily-life people role like in JILL RIPS, this attempt never left me insensitive.
The cast supporting Dolph are decent especially due to the always noticeable presence of Lou Gosset Jr plus Susan Berkley get the right tone in his ambiguous relationship with Dolph.
Besides the relatively restreint budget of the movie, a plot sometimes a bit boring or the lack of real action for people who are expecting a more traditional Dolph's action-flick, the film shine like never in HD, the shooting taking place at Israel (very unusual) helping at it.
Manny Coto is clever and very good at shooting Dolph strolling through the burning streets of Tel-Aviv and the scenery has something artsy and very unique at some various moments of the film (I don't even need to mention the loving shower scene of course).
Below 2 screenshots to illustrate some of those feelings :
We definitely needs some editors releasing it physically in HD to allow COVER-UP to reach his full potential. Of course it would depends of the current state of the movie's rights.
