This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Capone - Ben Gazarra is Chicago's famous crime boss and Sylvester Stallone his Frank Nitti in Steve Carver's action-packed and historically accurate (at least the violent parts) account of ten fast years of Prohibition lawlessness; The Sleepy Eyes of Death Collector's Set Volume 2 - Handsome matinee idol Raizo Ichikawa portrays the deadly swordsman Nemuri Kyoshiro, a rogue killer for hire who gets into one complicated adventure after another. A superior and entertaining samurai series; and The Tattooed Stranger - The mystery of a woman murdered in Central Park leads slowly to the killer. The show is a like a time machine to a different era, where an all-male police force searches for a killer in skid row cafés and tattoo parlors. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
