Fantastic - I have never seen TOO LATE FOR TEARS and am really looking forward to getting the new Blu-ray (it is getting its own UK release, so anticipate yet another review chum!)

Todd Mason said...

Looking forward to seeing both the film and the review! Thanks.

All the best from the new crime fiction blogger with an empty blog, David.
