Suture

Artsy thriller filmed in the Hitchcock style opens with an interesting premise: a man sets up his near twin brother's death to look as if he himself has died ...only the brother lives and assumes the killer's identity. Problem for the audience: one brother is white, his "twin" is black. Unfortunately, this is a social statement, not a resolvable plot point. Optional. (R. Pitman)[Blu-ray/DVD Combo Review—July 12, 2016—Arrow, 96 min., not rated, $39.95—Making its first appearance on Blu-ray, 1993's Suture features a nice transfer and a stereo soundtrack. Extras include audio commentary by Steven Soderbergh and writer-directors David Siegel and Scott McGehee, a “making-of” featurette (33 min.), the 1989 short doc “Birds Past” by Siegel and McGehee (28 min.), deleted scenes (4 min.), and trailers. Bottom line: a solid extras package for this sometimes thought-provoking film.]
