Every now and again a film slips in and catches you totally unaware. Such a film is THE BARBER starring Malcolm McDowell and offering a smashing performance by Jeremy Ratchford. Plot is simple: small town in Alaska, colorful townfolk, a supposedly inept sheriff....and oh yes, a serial killer. Mix them all together and get ready for one of the most delightful surprises to come along on DVD this year. I have seen some of this Christmas's "blockbuster" films in the theaters, and the unpretentious THE BARBER stands with the best of them and far above most. Make a pot of popcorn, grab a cup of coffee and prepare to be delightfully surprised.....................
